I've heard of less famous guitars going for a lot more. _________________________ SEHpicker “The further a society drifts from truth the more it will hate those who speak it." George Orwell

I've heard of less famous guitars going for a lot more. How true. We'll just make it the opening bid @ $100,000... Edited by Larryz (02/24/13 04:45 PM) Edit Reason: open bid

Bartholomew Senior Member Registered: 02/29/04 Posts: 474 Loc: Montreal	I saw something on "60 minutes" last year - one of the former partners of Bill Gates - Microsoft or perhaps it was former partner to Steve Jobs - Apple - bought that axe for $350,000 or maybe $250K, don't really remember. Some people have too much money - wonder if it made him a better player....not. As Jimi sang - "Rainy day, dream away..." _________________________ Been round the block but am not over the hill... http://www.bandmix.ca/jamrocker/

whitefang MP Hall of Fame Member Registered: 05/13/02 Posts: 7966 Loc: Lincoln Park, MI, UNITED STATE...	Whoever has it now, it looks as if he was playing it. The photo looks like it's strung for a righty. Whitefang _________________________ I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!
