Collecting Stories: Perry A. Margouleff

Perry A. Margouleff, owner of Pie Studios on Long Island, New York, recollects how a concert he saw at Fillmore East at the age of nine launched a lifelong love of electric guitars. Musician, producer, engineer and guitar collector Perry A. Margouleff is an old friend of Christie’s — he first introduced us to his guitar collection in Christie’s Magazine in 2014. ‘I have probably owned more than 3,000 guitars in my lifetime,’ he told us on that occasion. ‘But I’ve never bought anything I didn’t like. I don’t think these things are to be looked at. The beauty of a guitar is when it’s making music.’ In our short film we catch up with the collector at Pie Studios in Long Island, New York, the recording facility he owns and where the likes of the Rolling Stones, Aerosmith, Billy Joel and Alicia Keys have come to employ his expertise.
