Cynical bastard.  Look, if this guitar is good enough for the drummer of Genesis, it's good enough for me.  Not to mention all those years EVH played one painted to look like a Strat body.

[ebradfordrich]

I’d be interested in seeing said documentation that all those guys played THIS one.    Otherwise offer three fiddy and call it a day.

Ethos:

Ethos means "custom" or "character" in Greek. As originally used by Aristotle, it referred to a man's character or personality, especially in its balance between passion and caution. Today ethos is used to refer to the practices or values that distinguish one person, organization, or society from others. 

[Travis]

Played by greats such as “ Paul Stanley of Kiss, Phil Collins, Joe Bonamassa, JOHNNY DEPP, EVH”……

JOHNNY DEPP?!?!?

Well, that sold me. I must have it. 

[DJL]

Rick Medlock used one in Blackfoot , also .

About a quarter million dollars worth.

This almost has me thinking I should put mine on the market. 🤣

Just more evidence that Reverb.com is as crooked as so many of its schkullahmukaloon seller pukes. If Reverb were an honest seller's platform it would police cocksuckers and their bullshit like this, but they're not. They are HOPING for some poor bastard to get fucked by a sale like this so Reverb can collect its potentially gigantic fees off of the hard ass fucking of some uninformed naive buyer this listing hopes to achieve.

[DJL]

OMG ! I'm reading the responses here , wondering WTF everyone is so bent . I go back and look at the listing again - I thought the price was TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS , NOT 250K ! LMFAO !!!!

Carry on , please !

Guy is local to me. Save now!  Hahaha

[kizanski]

That's a $240,000 discount! 

[tbonesullivan]

Oh boy. I'm sure that Pete Thorn didn't pay that much for his. Or anyone else for that matter.

At the end of the "description" there is an off handed claim that maybe it has a link to Keith Richards????

[gretsch8217]

1. Never, ever saw a pic of Keith Richards playing an Explorer, never mind a Destroyer

2. I highly doubt that "It IS the most rare and sought after Ibanez out there." In terms of the 'korina" lawsuit models, I'm pretty sure that the Futura is much rarer.

3. Without a serial number, how the hell would he know that "the guitar was made in the second quarter of 1975"?

4. The 'harmonica' bridge is not original.

Paaaleeeese

Hell, I just saved $250G by not even thinking about buying it.

I agree with the essence of your argument, BUT, I have to sort of disagree with this particular example.  At this price, it’s not going to be some poor hard working bastard that would get fucked here…. If they were hard working and/or smart enough to have the kind of scratch laying around to buy this, they are probably not naive, are aware this is a ridiculous amount of money, and won’t buy it.  Rather, it would be some clueless Powerball winner or trust fund multi-millionaire who would take the ass-fucking.  
 

In which case, oh well…. I hate thieves, but ESPECIALLY at that price, the BUYER needs to do some due diligence.  Otherwise, it’s on them.
