The Guess Who and B.T.O. rocker Randy Bachman has prized instruments up for auction - including American Woman guitar that's expected to sell for up to $400,000


Nearly 200 guitars from Canadian rocker Randy Bachman's personal collection, many of which are stage-played, will be available for purchase through Julien's Auctions in May.

They unleashed a wave of rock anthems in the 1970s, including such hits as Takin' Care Of Business, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet, Let Ir Ride, Hey You and Roll on Down the Highway. The Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada native also put his white 1955 Fender Stratocaster, which he used to play live and in the recording studio with B.T.O., as part of the set of instruments on auction. Bachman had previously disclosed that he was inspired to become a musician at the age of 15 when he saw Elvis Presley with a guitar around his neck while playing Tommy Dorsey's television show in 1958.
