I have no idea what such a guitar would sell for, but noted there was a 48 hour return window with a 3.5% restocking fee. So, if you paid $150,000 for it but didn't like it your trial strums would cost you $5,250. I suppose if you can afford the guitar, the restocking fee wouldn't scare you. I never have, and never will, own a guitar that cost as much as that restocking fee.

I’ve told you before, but I had a gold top 1957 LP with original PAFs that I sold in 1970 for $300 to finance a trip to Florida for Spring Break.
I’m just cryin’

Too bad Col. Paul didn’t see that.
Never had any interest in those, myself.

If I'd have kept it back then, I'm sure I would have sold it 30 years ago when I became aware of it's collectible value. I saw one for sale on Mandolin Bros pamphlet for $31k and would most likely sold it then. Still a nice chunk of change.

I saw one for sale on Mandolin Bros pamphlet for $31k and would most likely sold it then. Still a nice chunk of change. As far as I know, nobody had a working crystal ball in those days. There was a time when they were just old guitars. I knew a guy in the mid 60s who went through Strats, Teles, Les Pauls, Rickenbachers, and even a Guild Duane Eddy in a matter of months. The guitars he bought and sold for a few hundred bucks would be worth $$$$$$$$$$ today. Who knew? |
