How to "go electric" for under $1 million.


An electric guitar owned by legendary folk singer sold at auction Friday for $965,000.


The Fender Stratocaster became infamous after Dylan played it[1] at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Called the performance where he "went electric," Dylan initially drew boos from the crowd for his use of electric guitar.


The guitar is the most expensive ever to be sold at auction, beating out the previous record holder by $6,000.
