Lou Reed’s Music Gear Will Sell on eBay

Lou Reed Gear Equipment Auction Ebay

Nearly eight months after the death of the late, great Lou Reed, the time has finally come to unload a portion of the massive amounts of musical equipment that he amassed over his lifetime, according to a post from his official Facebook page, which you can read in full below.

Reed’s most important guitars, amps, and effects will be kept by his touring company, Sister Ray Enterprises, for his archive. But there’s still supposedly a ton of gear to be sold. All of the equipment will make its way to an eBay store created for the occasion, which at this point seems to be populated mostly by keyboards and rack effect units. Each of the items sold was used by Reed or his band on tour and proceeds from these auctions will go toward founding the Lou Reed Archive.

If you’re short on cash and can’t shell out for that $1,200 acoustic guitar preamp, consider instead looking back at his legacy through the lens of a few of his best songs or taking a critical look at his whole discography.
