A Foo Fighters guitar played by rock icon Dave Grohl in one of the US rock band's first hit videos is to go on sale. The Gretsch White Falcon guitar was originally owned by the band's rhythm guitarist Pat Smear - and was played by frontman Grohl, now 53, in the 1997 music video for Monkey Wrench.
It was also widely used on their second album The Colour And The Shape, which includes the hit Everlong, released that year.
The instrument is expected to fetch between £15,000 and £30,000 when auctioned at Wiltshire-based specialist music auctioneers Gardiner Houlgate on 7 September.
A Polaroid photograph of Hollywood actress Drew Barrymore playing the guitar, taken by Smear, will be sold along with it. Auctioneer Luke Hobbs said: "This a very exciting guitar as it's one of the few owned by Foo Fighters, arguably the biggest current rock band on Earth, ever to come to public auction.
