Chris - Haha! Yep guilty as charged. I'm hoping that the perfect nylon crossover for me will come along at a ridiculous bargain basement price. I've seen some nice Takamines and Yamahas, Cordoba. But none close enough to me to actually play them (without traveling for at least three or four hours) and... No ridiculous prices.
... Well....til I saw this ad.
EBay really has expanded what it's selling. It must have the auction houses very worried.
At its core, I guess I find it difficult to belive that people shopping on EBay would have $75,000-$100,000 to spend on a guitar. Or that anyone would. But, I'm never going to have that sort of 'play' money, so I guess I'm never going to appreciate the value of owning a vintage Fender that is full of magic.
At an asking price of $75,000 you would have thought they could give you a little more information about it's history, provenance, a sound file, more photos.... But maybe the description alone is enough.
It's presented in a way that really isn't that different from guitars with an initial bid of $100 or $1000.
Actually, after reading Allen St Jame's book, "Clapton's Guitar", I have a better understanding of why some Martin's go for a huge price (include some that Clapton auctioned off to raise money for charity).
Willem - bought any $100,000 guitars lately? :p
Right!?! :woohoo:
