THE GUITAR THAT GAVE BIRTH TO ROCK 'N' ROLL.. YOURS FOR £3M
By Pete Samson
THE guitar used by legendary blues singer Robert Johnson is up for sale - at more than £3million.

Johnson, said to have have sold his soul to the devil in exchange for his musical ability, used the Gibson L1 acoustic guitar on his only two recording sessions.

Wow! That is a huge mark-up from the original price and a testament to how seminal Robert Johnson was to blues and rock and roll.
