NEW WINDSOR, N.Y. — A collection of antique sterling silver, works of art, bronzes, jewelry and musical instruments, including a rare, one-owner 1958 Fender Stratocaster electric guitar that had been consigned by its 92-year-old owner, greeted bidders logging on to Mid-Hudson Auction Galleries’ February 18 sale. The firm’s president Joanne Grant, was watching presale interest keenly mount and seesaw between the Fender and an enigmatic oil on Masonite by Gertrude Abercrombie (American, 1909-1977). In the end, the guitar won the day, going out at $32,500, including buyer’s premium. It was a rare opportunity to own a one-owner guitar. With serial number 28939 die stamped on its metal neck attachment plate and neck date 8-58 handwritten on the heel end and body, everything was consistent with this guitar being originally assembled in 1958. The double cutaway alder body featured a three-tone sunburst finish. A specialist in guitar sales in New England was the winner. More highlights from this sale will follow.
