Gold Guitar auction nets $100k for Harlem Children's Zone

http://www.monstersandcritics.com/people/news/article_1633485.php/Prince-auctioned-off-gold-guitar-to-Lewis-Hamilton

The charity is Harlem Children's Zone,http://www.hcz.org/

"...Holding up the dazzling Fender Stratocaster, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee, whose efforts have raised $2m for charity, said: “We got $100,000 for that from my brother Lewis Hamilton, the race car driver.

'It's gonna be hard to part with this, let me tell you.'

He had introduced and played the gilt instrument during a string of shows in December in New York and New Jersey.

The Formula One champion, 26, is known to be a guitar enthusiast and has previously revealed how strumming helps him relax before big races.

His cash will now benefit the Harlem Children's Zone, a US community organisation that helps more than 17,000 families...."

I read in another thread about Lewis Hamilton buying one of Prince's guitars, wondered which one.

Thanks for clearing it up smile
