How much does a Stradivari go for these days?

I can remember the late 80s when speculators made old Ferrari prices soar. They all lost their asses by about 1992.

whoa! those guitars must be magical, right? must be MUCH better than the new ones i've played in the local GC sure is a pretty burst

[cordroad]

I'm sorry...approaching a quarter million dollars for a guitar?

Fukk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gear is insignificant.

Creativity is king

[LordOfTheThighs]

I hope the belly-button lint / fungus / toe-jam / dingleberry stuff

stays with the guitar. That's really got to up the MOJO!

So THATS 8 of 10 condition....

It stikes me as odd that a guitar worth that much money is laying directly on the grass.

Hell, when BCR Greg photographs them he lays them directly on concrete. Grass is soft.

I just laughed so hard I almost peed!

[kurtsstuff]

Man...if it only had some EMG's innit....I'd throw a bid on it... hehe

[mrhappy]

Kinda makes you wanna go back in time with a big wad of cash!!!

Question teacher:

Looks like a REFRET, no?

When did Gibson start binding over the fret ends (whatever it's called...)?

[santellavision]

For $225,000. I could pay a luthier $75,000. to build me a replica that would fool the experts. And then I'd still pocket $150,000. profit. Kinda' scary to buy anything that expensive.

Bullshit.

That is a replica pick of Greg taking a pic. An authentic Greg pic would not have a shadow of the photographer falling on the subject.

Actually, the guitar was in the sun for 30 seconds, and I snapped several frames as quickly as possible before we whisked it back inside. Those early sunburst finishes fade if you tlak loud around them!!!

Yeah, I am pissed about the shadow, but the shot is too good otherwise.

[rmahurin]

It's all relative I suppose. If a rapper can blow that kind of coin on a blingy Bentley. a "real" `59 burst for a well-monied rocker who can write it off should be a no-brainer.

Why were the tuners taken off for a photo?

To show you that it had never been modded to have Grovers and the like installed or had any splits down the neck.

This thread had better potential as

BEHOLD THE POWER OF OLD WOOD!

Is this really laying on the asphalt or do you have some sort of pad you lay guitars on to take your pictures?

~stokesdead "

If you look at the pic there is a pad under the guitar.

[BCR Greg]

The original tuners are in the original case. They had the dreaded "shrunken button disease"...

Later tuners with the disease.
