For the Carlos Santana Fan

For those of you who don’t know him: Carlos Augusto Alves Santana (born July 20, 1947) is a Mexican-born American Grammy Award-winning rock musician and guitarist. Santana became famous in the late 1960s and early 1970s with his band, Santana, which pioneered a blend of rock, salsa and jazz fusion. The band's sound featured his melodic, blues-based guitar lines set against Latin percussion. Santana continued to work in these forms over the following decades. Rolling Stone also named Santana number 15 on their list of the 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time in 2003.

Tonight, we have a Carlos Santana -- Signed and Framed -- LP “ZEBOP!”, released in 1981 that went Platinum, displayed in a 16 x 20 inch frame AND a Carlos Santana -- Signed Electric Guitar.

Estimated Retail for both: $3,950

Starting Bid: $800
