Phoebe Bridger’s SNL Guitar Was A Smash At A GLAAD Auction

When Phoebe Bridgers smashed her guitar to smithereens during her performance of “I Know the End” on Saturday Night Live in February, there was no way she could’ve known that the cultural impact of the instrument would stretch far beyond the fake amp it struck that night. On Sunday (April 11), the highly-discussed Danelectro Dano '56 electric guitar sold for an incredible $101,500 at the LGBTQ+ advocacy organization GLAAD’s auction in support of the GLAAD Media Awards.

"Phoebe Bridgers' unforgettable SNL guitar smash has now gone from a much buzzed about performance and morphed into an important moment of giving back to the LGBTQ community," said Anthony Ramos, GLAAD's head of talent, said in a statement per Billboard. "Phoebe is such a visible, out powerhouse in the music industry and we knew that the item was special, but we were so pleasantly surprised to see such a large amount of money raised that will go directly into our work to support and uplift LGBTQ people. Thank you, Phoebe!"
