Why did I think the Whitford Korina Standard had been stolen?

Anybody?

Question for Mike or Dave???    Didn’t Frank U loan the band another Korina Standard right after the move to CT because Brad’s was stolen or did those brain cells go up in smoke?

Not to me, anyway!  Celebrity-owned/played means exactly zippo to me.

I don't understand why people want to pay extra for instruments that have been out on the road with anybody, famous or not.  And anytime I read "player-grade" instrument, I think, "another person too lazy to put the guitar in a case"

I'll take the closet classic every time, thank you.

I can see the added interest in a celebrity owned piece of gear, but it depends on the gear and the celebrity, and to me Whitford doesn't apply.

I remember being interested in Walter Becker's purple Hamers that were part of his Julien's auctions, but only because I figured that he probably never played them at all.  Man, those prices were insane!

It's like autographs on guitars.  Nobody is writing on one of my guitars.  I don't care if it's Gary Moore from beyond the grave!

Yeah, to me, it's not like suddenly that celebrity's guitar is going to make me play like them or give me access to their cars or money, so I don't care about who owned it either.   But, marketers rule the world now, so there you go.

Whitford applies a shitload more than Chester Bennington!

I liked those too, but it had nothing to do with them every belonging to Becker.

You lucky so-and-so!  If you don't mind me asking, what did you end up paying for the Standard after all the auction fees and shipping?  It is a beautiful instrument!

Nobody was happier than I, when Walter's Ian Anderson Standard sold for 22K.  Mine's better...

I always think player guitars have been played and are good at the very least. Closet queens not so sure. I bought all my old jrs as player grade and only one was not up to par. Ymmv.
