Rock legends which include: Sir Paul McCartney, Ronnie Wood, Roger Waters, reportedly raised thousands of pounds for charity at a celebrity guitar auction in Britain on Tuesday. Paul was “astonished” after his signed replica Gibson Les Paul that stands 10 feet tall was sold for GBP60,000 ($120,000). The above photo of the guitar was taken in June 2007, prior to Paul signing the guitar.

Rolling Stones’ Ronnie Wood’s guitar fetched GBP11,000 ($22,000) and Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters’ ‘Wall’-themed guitar took in GBP10,500 ($21,000).

The money will be split between Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, the Prince’s Trust and Teenager Cancer Trust. Awesome eh?
