PITTSBURGH – For nearly six decades, longtime concert promoter Rich Engler has had the pleasure, privilege, and good fortune to produce and promote over 6,000 concerts and performances by some of the biggest names in entertainment, both in Pittsburgh and elsewhere in the United States.
During this time, he has collected signed guitars and other memorabilia from many of those artists for his own personal archive, but now nearly 60 years later, he finds it time to move on from this collection and make it available to other music fans.
The contents of this collection will soon be available for purchase in two lots only: signed guitars (235+, priced at $1,200,000) and other music/concert memorabilia (nearly 1,000 unique items, priced at $400,000). The actual assessed values of the lot contents by industry professionals exceed the asking prices.
Some of the artists represented are Paul McCartney, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Billy Joel, KISS U2, David Gilmour, Cher, Toby Keith, Tim McGraw, Justin Timberlake, James Brown, George Benson, and so many more. Almost all are one-of-a-kind pieces.
This is a serious investment opportunity, and all qualified buyers will be considered. It is an attraction that has captured the attention of many over the years. Historically, this collection has brought in tens of thousands of dollars for a number of charitable foundations through private viewings.
The future owner(s) can create public museums, themed bars and restaurants, mobile/touring exhibits, or simply keep the collection entirety private. The possibilities are numerous.
Serious inquiries for the entirety of either lot, with the required financial backing, can be submitted by completing the buyer information form on the homepage of richengler.com.
