“A tough choice would be this fiddle and a 56’ Sunburst Stratocaster.”
You forgot the seven figure price difference.
Brownie, the 56' Fender Stratocaster used by Eric Clapton, sold at auction in 1999 for $497,000. I guess it may be worth a little more now but nowhere near that of the Stradivarius. I remember when Brownie was on the wall of the music shop, Strings & Things in Memphis, Tennessee, and could have been had in the 1980's for less than $20K. Clapton had given the guitar to a roadie and that roadie needed cash when in Memphis and sold it to the owner of the shoppe. Clapton authenticated the guitar on a visit to Memphis and repurchased it so he could sell it at an auction to benefit his charity.
