Geddy Lee might be known as one of the world's greatest bassists, but the Rush frontman also has a pretty sweet stash of electric guitars.

Now he’s putting six rather impressive vintage guitars from his private collection under the hammer with Mecum Auctions, as part of a sale that will take place in Las Vegas on October 10-12.

The auction, which marks the first time Lee has put any instruments from his nearly 300-strong collection up for bidding, comprises '50s and '60s Gibsons and Fenders, and is highlighted by a coveted ’59 Les Paul 'burst.

You can check out the six guitars, with descriptions from Mecum, below.

Lee’s 1959 model is in stunning original condition, save for a single refret, and it comes with the original case.

A rare piece like this in any state and from any collection would be a remarkable find, and this one’s original condition and status as an exalted member of rock legend Geddy Lee’s previously untouchable private collection catapult it into the stratosphere of the truly one-of-a-kind, inimitable classics.

1960 Gibson ES-345

This 1960 Gibson, finished in Cherry Red with a mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, is an extraordinary offering from the Geddy Lee Guitar Collection.

Lined with 22 nickel alloy frets and Pearloid split trapezoid position markers, this Gibson ES-345 is one of pure beauty. The ES-345, introduced in 1959, was an upgrade of the ES-335 model, and it symbolized a marriage between Gibson’s innovation and stylistic tradition.

With PAF humbucking pickups and a Varitone switch, this ES-445 has an unmatched performance ability and the capacity to create a more controlled sound of various tones, making this guitar an example of physical elegance and musical clarity. Time to pick this cherry from the tree and settle it into your personal collection.
