Legendary Hendrix/Zappa Stratocaster Headlines Collection Of Rock 'N' Roll Memorabilia At Mandalay Bay Resort in Las Vegas - May 31-June 2

SAN JOSE, Calif. (April 25, 2002) - eBay Motors will offer Rock 'N' Roll collectors one of the most historically significant musical instruments of the modern era when the guitar owned by Jimi Hendrix and Frank Zappa, goes on the auction block at "Motors and Music," May 31-June 2, 2002. The three-day entertainment event produced by Kruse International, the world's largest collector car sales organization and an eBay company, includes a live collector car auction, live music music memorabilia auction, auto memorabilia auction, and concert by the Robert Cray Band at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

The Hendrix/Zappa 1967 Fender Stratocaster guitar recently came under the spotlight when Dweezil Zappa, son of '60s rocker Frank Zappa, was asked to loan his customized 1980 Aston Martin Volante Roadster and his famous father's 1973 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow to a Rock 'N" Roll exhibit at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. The younger Zappa also offered museum organizers an unexpected surprise - a legendary guitar originally owned by Jimi Hendrix and set on fire by the great guitarist at the 1968 Miami Pop Festival. Both the Aston Martin and Rolls Royce as well as the guitar will go on the block at the event.

Following Hendrix's historic Miami performance, the guitar was given to Frank Zappa who restored it and used it extensively during the 1970s. In the 1980s, son Dweezil found it under a staircase in the Zappa home. He restored the guitar and today it sports a new neck and new pick guard, but evidence of the flames from the famous Miami performance is still visible on the guitar body.

"This guitar has such a unique history. Both previous owners were legendary and influential in their own right. As a historical musical artifact, this instrument is in a category by itself,"says Dweezil Zappa. "This event provides a rare opportunity for rock enthusiasts and fans to purchase icons of rock music including this guitar."
