My Taylor 714CE LTD Spring 2009 model. Beautiful Madagascan rosewood back and sides, abalone rosette, ebony fretboard. It sounds simply fabulous and it's an absolute dream to play:

My 2007 lefty Gretsch G6122-1962 Country Gent. $2799.00 before tx in Canadian funds.

But, the (most expensive) to my heart is a 1974 4001 lefty Rickenbacker bass which cost me $500.00 back in the 70's.

I asked my wife to make sure it gets buried when I do.

My most expensive (and the only one I have at the moment, had a crappy Ibanez when I started) is my Road Worn 60's.
A fantastic guitar with a great feeling. Sure, there are some adjustments to do (i.e. pickups) but overall for the price I paid (650 EUR), it's a killer guitar.

2007 Gibson Les Paul Historic 1957 / R7 9.00 lbs +/- Popular Demand Series

In one of Gibson’s classic moments of waste-not-want-not, Les Paul Custom pickguards and pickup rings were used on a few 1957 Goldtops. The result is an elegant and very rare touch on a classic Les Paul.

It's a Goldtop in Gloss (not VOS) with Black Plastics.

I emailed Gibson shortly after the purchase. At the time in 06/2007 they had only made about 30 of these guitars and were not planning on making many more since these were done by dealer order only. Guitar also came with a different COA verses the regular Custom Shop Reissues.

Well.....mine would be my 1955 Gibson Les Paul Gold, not a Gold Top, but all Gold. Front, Side, back, back of the neck and back of head stock.
I have no idea what its worth but to me its priceless. My brother gave it to me in 1969 to take care of for him till he returned from South Viet Nam.....long story short , Iam still taking care of "Lester" . not for sale !

so far the most valuable guitar on this thread in my opinion.
no offense guys, you know what i mean here.
i have some high dollar guitars myself, but none have the
meaning of value like this one does here.
( god rest and thank this soldier for his services )
can we get a pic of "lester" if possible?
