Understanding the market for Standards...

[sixesandsevens]

I know the oldest 4-digit models go for quite a bit higher than others, but are there other price brackets out there for USA Standards? What are they?

Thanks!

Edit: I'm looking for a "player", not an investment.

Post a want to buy and one'll turn up.

If you really want one fast, have Feynman post the wtb for you. People used to line up to sell him stuff...now they just give it for free.

Line up at Feyman's front door and you might possibly find one guy in the line offering a Standard.

Good advice, of course. Since I don't have Feynman's address, I'll post a WTB once I pick a model.

It's not foolproof though. I figured veatch would get the hint and send me that BC Rich, to no avail.

Also, Devnor owns a guitar that HE named "Feynman's Standard," but it hasn't shown up at the door (yet). I'll give it a few more years.

I was going to bet you $1400 that i *could* let go of the Seagull, then i was going to ship it to you as a gift, and then ask you to pay up on the bet...

Is "Feynman's Standard" anything like "Schrodinger's Cat"?

Now THERE'S a concept! I wonder how it'll work on the wife...
