Who plays what still matters in the music business. It’s Superbowl Sunday and I’m expecting a glut of celebrity endorsed commercials to hit me like a tidal wave of Doritos this evening stating around 6:30. So….let’s talk about NAMM for a minute. What’s NAMM you say? NAMM, the National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM), commonly called NAMM in reference to the organization’s popular NAMM trade shows, is the not-for-profit association that promotes the pleasures and benefits of making music and […]

The guitar has become an icon of the role of popular music in American culture. One direct consequence is the rise in the value of iconic instruments. In this example, ‘iconic’ means: owned and played by someone special. An example would be the white Fender Stratocaster used by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock to play “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Iconic might also mean that a particular instrument has a special place in history. An example of this would be Scotty Moore’s Gibson ES-295 that was used in the original Sun Studio sessions with Elvis Presley, or Bill Black’s stand-up bass used in the same sessions and now owned by Sir Paul McCartney.

In simple terms, a new white Fender American Standard Stratocaster with a maple neck/fretboard is readily available at a local music store or on-ine for about the same price: $1,100. A pre-owned version (a few years old) is simply considered ‘used’ and is worth something less than the ‘new’ price ($450 to about $750). At a certain age (more than 10 years), it may begin to rise in value as a ‘Vintage’ instrument. On the other hand, it may not. Few instruments actually get more valuable. A few more tend to hold their used value better than others. In short, it starts to get complicated….

One thing is clear: The white Fender Stratocaster used by Jimi Hendrix at Woodstock to play “The Star-Spangled Banner” will sell at auction for considerably more than a used white Fender Stratocaster. The instruments played by some of the Guitar Gods  of the 1950s, ‘60s, ’70s, ’80s and ’90s have fetched quite large sums at auction and by private sales.

The following list of instruments is notable in the amount they were sold for. The list is a work-in-progress and mostly reflects auction sales. The dollar amounts are the total cost of the instruments after the auction. They are the sum of the high-bid plus the Buyer’s Premium and any related auction house fees. In the case of Doug Ir

English drummer (1945–2024)

Musical artist

Michael John Underwood (5 September 1945 – 28 July 2024) was an English drummer. He first played drums at the age of 14 and was a professional musician by the time he left school.

Underwood collaborated with a number of notable musicians and groups, including Jet Harris, The Outlaws (with Ritchie Blackmore), The Herd (with Peter Frampton), Episode Six (with Ian Gillan and Roger Glover), Quatermass (with John Gustafson) and Gillan (again with Gillan). He was also the drummer for Mick Underwood's Glory Road and Raw Glory.

Early life

Underwood was born in Middlesex on 5 September 1945. At the age of 14 he was given his first drum, a second-handsnare drum, and added a third-hand bass drum shortly after. He received drum tuition from Jim Marshall, who went on to become the inventor and manufacturer of the Marshall amplifier. During this period, Underwood met Ritchie Blackmore (then known as Ricky Blackmore) and the two played together in a band called The Dominators, although Underwood was eventually asked to leave the band for "...playing too loud!"

His next band was The Satellites, until he was invited to join The Crescents, who were playing residencies at large ballrooms. Underwood left school at 16 to work with Jet Harris, and joined a tour of Britain with Sam Cooke and Little Richard. It was at the end of this tour that Screaming Lord Sutch (in whose band, The Savages, Blackmore now played) suggested he approach the independent record producer
