Which hand would you take; his right hand or his left?

Like chose which hand of abilities he had?

Definitely his picking hand.

I'll take them all :)

Ok, maybe just the Red Tele.

yes

It's always cool but a little sad at the same time when this happens.
What a talent he is.

That moss green Guild Starfire II is pretty dope.

I would be in that auction in a jiffy...if I was a millionaire. It's a shame that many of these will probably go in some collectors vault rather than getting played.

I'll take the picking hand. Mark Knopfler got me into fingerstyle playing. And Strats for that matter.

Depends on how much of the collection Jim Irsay picks up. Gilmour's Black Strat still gets some action publicly, which is pretty cool-

Heard Kenny Wayne Shepherd talking about how cool he thought being allowed to play that Strat was in an interview on the radio last week:

My Planet Rocks with Kenny Wayne Shepherd - My Planet Rocks - Planet Rock

Guitarist Kenny Wayne Shepherd joins Jen Thomas. He’ll be playing his favourite tracks and discussing his biggest influences.

7 minutes in: he gets to play it as part of an all-star band for free gigs

Interestingly it's a Schecter.
afaik the First Outfield record was tracked more or less exclusively with a Schecter Tele and a JCM 800.

All those guitars looked to be dead mint, too. That ‘59 Burst will fetch some coin, same as that Pensa that EMG used for ads for years.

Yes, those Schecter Teles from that era were very nice. I'm still wanting a Pete Townshed model from the same timeframe someday.

I always loved the Pensa-Suhr arch top , they will go for many multiples of the estimates though.
