Johnny Cash Memorabilia Going to Auction

added 28 October 2010 at 11.44

Instruments, hand-written lyrics and stage outfits are all going on sale...

More than 1000 items are going under the hammer and are expected to raise more than half a million dollars.

The auction - at Julien's Auctions in California - takes place on December 5.

It includes items from Cash's military career all the way through to the end of his career.

A vintage 1951 Martin guitar used by Cash in studio that later became the designated tour bus guitar  is expected to go for between  $20,000 - 30,000.

 A portion of the proceeds from the auction will benefit MusiCares.
