Last week, Eddie‘s son Wolfgang criticized a recent auction of three of his late father’s guitars. The instruments were sold for a total of $422,050 through Julien’s Auctions as part of a larger music memorabilia event called “Icons & Idols”.
The 29-year-old said the sellers were “taking advantage of my father’s passing”, and he had “nothing to do with” the sale.
“I don’t EVER plan on selling any of my father’s iconic guitars,” he said.
According to BBC News, Julien’s Auctions said two of the guitars were submitted for sale weeks before Eddie died.
