Watch: Stephen Colbert’s “Shred Off” Guitar Now On Sale

This clip from Stephen Colbert’s “The Colbert Report” features Chris Funk, guitarist of the band The Decemberists, playing a B.C. Rich silver Warlock guitar currently on sale in the Nye & Company’s Fine & Decorative Arts, Militaria and Rock & Roll Memorabilia Auction. The guitar, signed by Colbert and Funk as well as Peter Frampton, Rick Nielsen (Cheap Trick), and Robert Schneider, is a kitschy piece of Rock and Roll and Television history, starting at $1,800.  Funk, whose band is known for their folk-indie rock rich with historical references and folklore, takes a page out of the book of rock and roll with a heavily distorted solo as he faces Stephen Colbert in a “Shred Off.”
