Guitarist, think I'm nuts?

[STAMPEDE3]

Considering buying a new guitar.

1 of only 80 built designed by one of my favorites and built for him.
Value in say 20-30 years?
Screw value I'd play it daily.

Think I'm nuts?

It's incredible, but, if I were to pay that much I couldn't bring myself to pay it.

Muddy Waters would kiss you. Guitars are for playing.

 

[chinchilla]

Be careful with that! Anyway, make this one chance one you'd like to do again!

Not a chance, wife won't let that happen. She is considering this one though as she knows how much I really would like to have it and really haven't bought anything big in quite some time.

All other toys are gone.

 

[SLVRBLT]

If you really want it, go for it.

Play it daily. The guitar is not a wrapper.
I have a studio model which plays and sounds like any other LP. I do not believe Les Paul would approve of the wood used. Tell you one thing.... The Les Paul is a very heavy guitar. The studio is a feather weight in comparison.

Shoot, I'm a momma to a guitar-playing maniac...I say go for it and play it to pieces! :beer:

 

[STAMPEDE3]

I really want the black one. I missed one a while back.
I may go for it because you never know if another black one will come around.

 

[SickBlackMach]

Do it!

 

[Julie GT07CS]

Curious, what was the original retail on this guitar?

 

[66speed]

If you can afford it, why not? Play that motor scooter everyday. If I could afford it, I would too.

I've searched and found 12.8- 13.8k
So right around what it is selling for now.

Dude, i would do it. See what kind of offer he would take, like $10,5 I WISH i had that much money to throw down on a guitar. My uncle has a 68 LP Custom that was done in Kalamazoo MI, last year they made them in the original Gibson plant up there, last appraisal was $10500 He bought it in 1983 for $400 from a pawn shop. Neal Schon is an excellent guitarist, and the Floyd rose would be a sweet touch on a LP.
