hmmm..that $140,000 LP looked like the goods to me...

 

Ok, so they take visa...so, anyone want to put in for it and 'timeshare' it around?

 

Considering how much I have 'spare' at the moment, I just need 9656 like minded fools...I mean people...and we'll be in business.

 

Queue starts here ------>

How can we fight ignorance and apathy?

Who knows! Who cares!

What history can that 1960 LP Standard have, to justify the $140,000 price tag? :eek: I'm presuming either it has been owned by one or two "famous folks" or else it must be "Mint!" Right? Or does that particular model actually carry such an asking price?

 

Tea. :confused:

This is the Holy Grail of electrics...so I am told. Only 2000 made in 59/60. Perfect combination of PUPs and woods

Thanks for the pics, 57, looks like an awesome show. $140K for a guitar, hmmmm, no, I think I'll just keep paying the mortgage. Kind of nice to have a roof over my head AND a place to store my gears : ) Did you buy or sell anything, or was it just a good day for dreaming?

:love: I would hug um, and squeeze um, and kiss um all over :love:

 

I'll take that one and that one oh and that one...

 

Looks like a lot of cool stuff, I probably would have been crying... or bankrupt... or both by the time I left there.

 

By the way Tedster, is that an African Swallow or a European Swallow???

 

And WHAT is your FAVourite COLOR?!?!?

The new Estaban guitar only 1,000 payments of

99.00

I think that's the milestone Martin - # 1,000,000. My dad sent me a newspaper article a few months ago - he lives in the greater Lehigh Valley area where Martin is based. There was some thought that the one millionth guitar should have been a standard issue model that ended up in some players hand through normal retail, but they decided to go the custom route and have some fun.

Thanks, Shannon!! The fire won't be totally rekindled until I get my LP set-up and my new amp gets delivered. However all of this is possible thanks to you and the other people here :cry::)

 

In addition, if I totally stink and I get frustrated easily, the LP and the new amp will be up on the eBay auction block before you can say "runawaaaay runawaaaaaaay" ;)

Thanks folks...

 

for Bruce Downs

Did you buy or sell anything, or was it just a good day for dreaming?

Lots of drooling and dreaming. I did buy 2 10' lengths of GeorgeL cord with the end plugs. They where selling them for .75 a foot and 3.50 per plug. I picked up one for me and one for my buddy's bday.

 

For Billster

That is the 1,000,000.00 Martin guitar. It had the ad from one of the Guitar Pubs down on the table in front of the guitar....very very beautiful guitar....

 

Hey what do you all think of the Castrol Guitar?? :D

Sorry, I bought my powerball ticket last week in Nashville. Now had I bought it somewhere in South Carolina, I'd have bought several of those instruments including the 1960! :thu:

 

(Then I would have taken several months to figure out what else to buy with $65,000,000. (Pre-tax...)

Sweet pics, thanks for sharing!

You did notice they had a blue green glitter Strat for sale, eh? Just like yours. :D

 

I like the ugly green ric bass copy, though. That would be great for a parody/comedy band! :freak:

Yeah...I think I'll buy 'em all (evil laugh)...from what I hear, only 50 of 'em were made. I like the lime-gold sparkle reverse headstock Dick Dale Strat, too. Surf's up, dude!

It should include this:

The Gibson Collector's Vault, a fireproof storage safe from Gibson Strings & Original Equipment division, offers Gibson owners and dealers the peace of mind that comes with the knowledge that their investment-grade guitars are secure from fire and theft. The 900-pound safe has a heavy-duty tumbler combination lock and holds up to nine guitars.

 

"No one would think of leaving thousands of dollars in cash hanging on a wall, and people shouldn't have to take that risk with valuable, collectible Gibsons," said Henry Juszkiewicz, chairman and CEO of Gibson Guitar Corp. "The Collector's Vault removes the worry of losing an instrument to fire or theft, so that the owner can fully enjoy his investments. It's the ultimate step in the proper care of a fine musical instrument."
