my goodness. that's what lottery winnings are for. even the selector switch under the control plate is pretty

blakktode · November 5th, 2009, 11:20 PM

$29,500.00 and STILL pay the freight ??

That was the deal breaker for me...

Newfie_J. · November 5th, 2009, 11:21 PM

That's the stuff dreams are made of. It's practically artwork in that state.
Good luck gettin that loan.

Nice guitar, but I wouldn't buy from tune_o_matic even if I could afford it.

ROADMAN · November 5th, 2009, 11:30 PM

oh my..

Geoff738 · November 5th, 2009, 11:42 PM

That was a thing of beauty.

Cheers,

where was the neck date?

PaisleyIsGod · November 5th, 2009, 11:57 PM

Holy cow, that's gorgeous

.

Maybe sometimes it's better that I come across guitars I would love to have but will NEVER be able to afford, rather than come across guitars I would love to have that I can convince myself I can afford.

I was curious about that myself.

Were the dates and initials not penciled in for that particular vintage?

superhand · November 6th, 2009, 02:07 AM

Sorry, but I don't get it. Can somebody explain to me why that guitar is worth that much money?

Excluding nostalgia, of course.

I heard that.

Seems like I remember a similar rig on ebay about a year ago going for over twice that amount. Heck, might not be a bad investment while waiting for the economy to recover.
I'm pontificating of course, I'm not in the running.

That is almost as precious as the John 5 vid I saw the other night.
