Wow! I can't imagine paying even half that much for a guitar. :shock:

At that price I'm betting that there'll be no takers, given the inoperative neck pickup and the non-original case.

Half that much would perhaps be the price you might have to pay.

$39,999 and he still wants $13.25 shipping. That's hysterical! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Even a rare custom color in dead mint condition with the original case might not bring that price!

Sometimes I wonder about some folks' touch with reality!

Bidding ended with no takers, perhaps reality has set in.

Neither can I, especially since it doesn't have the original case and a few other issues. If it were absolutely immaculate museum quality, had the original case, all of the original case candy and well-recorded provenance, a collector (not a player) might pay close to that price. As it is, without the original case and paint touch-ups, I'd put it in the $11,000 range.

Yeah, I don't think any sane player would go for it even at half the initial price. For that kind of money, you can get a heck of a handbuilt job from a master luthier, which will play nicer and look better than any old factory axe will. So collectors is really the market here.
