"roasted?"

Anybody want to buy me a X-mas
Gift?

 

[Opt_234]

Is that his black beauty? Or a different black Strat

 

[Ebidis]

All the BS about "so much energy coming from this guitar" is just lame. It's a guitar. Yeah, it belonged to Jimi, but it's still just a guitar.

And the price is beyond ludicrous.

It's the one he played at the Monterey Pop Festival in '67.

 

[Space Pickle]

only worthwhile if it comes with all the licks IMO

I’m pretty sure if I play it, I am unfortunately still gonna sound like me.

i thought he set that one on fire, if so they should discount it at least 50 bucks.

If I had the money I would buy it if it was authenticated. He was one of my idols in music when growing up. He shaped my musical preferences and love of guitars.

I sort of fast-forwarded through the video. Is it up for auction now, or does a music store in London own it, and willing to sell it if a collector coughs up sufficient megabucks?

 

[Telenut62]

They restrung it right handed.....big mistake.

 

[Obsessed]

For sale … for bragging rights by rich folk.

*Yawn*

He played this black Strat for the whole set, then brought out a hand painted Strat for the last song, which he then set on fire and smashed.

Me too.

I get that, and nothing wrong with that. If you had the money, and wanted to buy it, that's your thing.

If you own it and want to sell it, and can find a buyer for 7-10 million, good on ya. Just don't try to jive me with "the energy that comes from this guitar" BS.

Zappa posed with the burned Strat on the GP cover long ago. He fixed it up, embedded some piezos in it, used it live sometimes, & afterwards I don't know.

{{{{{{{ ChicknPickn wonders . . . . . could I FINALLY sound like Jimi??? }}}}}}}}

How, is Jimi's soul included in the case candy?

 

[Jakedog]

Like ol’ Doc Seuss said- “You never can tell what some people will buy.”

Would I? If I had 7-10 million I wouldn’t miss? Well, I’ve done dumber things with my money. I just can’t say.
