$100,400 for Entwistle’s guitar

John Entwistle’s prized pink guitar, “Frankenstein,” sold for almost 10 times the expected price at auction, Sotheby’s said Tuesday.

The pink Fender Precision guitar had been expected to fetch up to $11,300 but sold for $100,400 as part of an auction of Entwistle’s collection of 150 guitars, exotic fish, celebrity sketches and gold discs.

Entwistle, who died of a heart attack in Las Vegas last year, amassed the collection during nearly 40 years as bassist with the Who -- a band better known for smashing its guitars on stage than preserving them for posterity.

“Frankenstein” was so called because it was made up of the remains of five smashed basses.
