The Guitar of the King of Cowboys

[Pierre Tavlitzki]

A few days ago, I took you to consider a piano from Memphis, Tennessee. Do not change of State or time, but only of auction house.

On April 4 in New York, Christie's offers the guitar of Roy Rogers, the King of the Cowboys in Nashville. This small town has been in the last century the undisputed capital of Country Music, relying upon these social facts of the era that were the broadcast and the development of the record industry.

Among these artists, the career of Roy Rogers is one of the longest and most successful.
The instrument of Christie's is the one he used regularly. This guitar of professional quality was the model OM-45 Deluxe that C. F. Martin and Co had built in 15 copies in 1930. It was acquired by Roy before 1933, when our hero was still Leonard Franklin Slye (a name difficult to bear for a cowboy singer, you will agree).

To give you a chance to extend the glory of Roy Rogers, prepare 150 K $.
