I don't even think Hendrix's Woodstock Stratocaster sold for that much.

Well I just read through this guys listing and I personally don't believe it. He doesn't care if he sells it, he doesn't care what it is really worth, he has autistic family members, multiple grandchildren, he's a quad. Wow....That is a lot to believe. But hey who am I? Just my $.02.

Those old pics are probably authentic, but I would consider them evidence that that old guitar has been beat up and banged around. A little guy like that surely clunked it just trying to hold it up. Plus it was already 6 years old when he got it.

I truly believe that even if I had money to burn, I wouldn't blow it on overpriced items like Ferrari's or Picasso's and especially not million dollar guitars just because I could.

But that's a topic for another whole thread isn't it...

Cheers,

Meh. I'll take a new '57 reissue for 1/2500 the price.

The white strat pictured on Jeff Beck's Wired album would be an awesome score. Or David Gilmour's black start.

Fret not! As you did on that guitar. Ye gods.....the attitude of the seller. Even as a bad joke. We've already wasted more ink on it than it was worth.

As to the photos, they look period correct. I see a lot of old time photos from this period. In fact there is a whole magazine devoted to the subject. The Strat is probably the real deal, too.

I have two schools of thought on this:

1. It sounds like the guy doesn't really know about selling guitars. He's just a guy who owns a '57 Strat.

2. It's fraud. It could be someone who found old pictures of a kid who owned the guitar and now he's trying to selling a guitar like it. I'd like to see what the guitar looks like now.

$5mill? No way.

He says, "I don’t need the money and don’t give a damn if I ever sell her."

Well he's won his fifteen minutes of international notoriety, now hasn't he.

I second that ZZ

I think the photos are untouched and the guys basically does not know what he is doing. In dealing with collectible cars I have seen this same thing. Some one has a old Ford behind there house they think is worth Fort Knox because it is an antique!

As of today the auction is still there, just ended: 220615555100

Ah - by amazing coincidence I have an old Ford behind my house. Here's a completely convincing photo of both:



I'd like to sell it, I won't settle for a penny less than $5 million, and I'm honestly not fussed whether I get it - because I'm a quadriplegic and so obviously don't need the money.

Nothing to doubt there...

Well, you can't blame a guy for trying.

Actually you can, but at least he's trying his luck. Never know, there are a lot of stupid rich people, mabye he'll get his 5 million
