The Black Strat was bought by a colorful guy, Colts owner Jim Irsay who also has guitars originally owned by Elvis Presley, George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Jerry Garcia, and Prince as well as a Ludwig drum set belonging to Ringo Starr. He also has the manuscripts for On the Road and the AA Blue Book...
