This is arguably one of the most sought-after guitars int the world that would be a highlight in any high-end music memorabilia collection.
The Stratocaster is one of Dylan's favorite guitars, and he has reportedly owned four of them. In 2013, one of Dylan's Stratocaster guitars sold for $965,000, making it the most expensive guitar ever sold at that time. Notable, the guitar in question that nearly fetched a million dollars was the guitar that Bob Dylan used to go electric at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
There are countless images of Dylan playing a Stratocaster guitar, with the same fiasco as this guitar, throughout his career. The guitar is accompanied by a Fender guitar case.

The letter in full: "The Fender Stratocaster, serial #S892352, 1978, was previously owned by Bob Dylan. Bob played this guitar in his studio and on stage.
