Fans of rockers Nine Inch Nails can own a piece of the band's history - frontman Trent Reznor is selling off the group's musical instruments online.

The singer announced the group would cease live work over the summer, and they bowed out as a live act in September with a three-hour finale in Los Angeles.

Now Reznor has put the Hurt hitmakers' road gear up for auction on eBay.com, with "hundreds" more set to be added to the guitars, keyboards, drums and amps already on sale in the near future.

In a post on the band's official website, Reznor writes, "We've been going through the NIN touring and studio rigs and are getting rid of a large selection of gear and equipment the band is no longer in need of.

"We do not know which (if any) tour these items are from unless specified, nor can we get any items autographed, so please do not ask."
