Bob Dylan is one of the most influential artists of the 20th and 21st centuries. He has released 39 studio albums and is one of the top covered musical artists. A recipient of numerous awards, he’s won an Academy Award, ten Grammy Awards and the Nobel Prize in Literature for his innovative song writing among many other awards.

Bob Dylan and Guitar

Bob Dylan taught himself to play the guitar as a teen growing up in Minnesota. His first inspirations were early rock and roll icons, like Buddy Holly, and was later influenced by folk legends such as Woody Guthrie.

A guitar signed or played by Dylan is among the most revered music memorabilia by collectors. Those connected to a historic performance or memorable photo tend to be worth more. A guitar signed by Bob Dylan, but not played by him, is also very collectible. Their value can vary depending when Dylan signed it and the quality of the guitar.

Bob Dylan and Harmonica

Bob Dylan is also famously associated with harmonica playing, which he’s used for emotional emphasis, often between verses. Some of his best-remembered songs with harmonica include “It’s All Right” and “Mr. Tambourine Man”.

Dylan’s harmonicas are an integral part of his sound which is almost as distinct as his voice. Harmonicas owned and played with Dylan are very desirable to collectors, especially if they can be traced back to a memorable performance or recording.

Recent realized prices for a Bob Dylan played harmonica have reached $12,500 – $15,000 and upwards.
