I never have gotten the fascination with having a guitar someone famous has played to death, and paying 100 times more for it. Assuming this is mint, it's only overpriced by about $29000. More actually with the service fees.
You could get the factory to make you a custom-made model with the same specs and still save enough for a nice car. |

Obviously you have not achieved the level of financial freedom and unfulfilled lifestyle that would allow you to see this as an opportunity to make you a "somebody"!
Congratulations! |

I have a Honer that was Eddie Van Halen's first guitar ever. You can have it for a mere $10,000. Any takers?
It comes with that a certificate of authenticity signed by Eddies barber Fred. This is the real deal, Fred swears it's true! |

Location: Tennessee | How much would you pay for a guitar played by Hendrix? Kurt Cobain had as much (or more) impact on the music of his generation than Jimi. There's a lot of folks out there who idolize him. And he was very good. I wonder what his Jagstang would bring. |

Location: CT | Kurt played guitar left handed guitar, strung lefty (or a right hand guitar strung lefty as in this pic).
This is a right handed guitar, strung righty, and Kurt is just holding it upside down. Was the guitar actually 'played' by Kurt Cobain? or did he pick up the wrong one in a drunken stupor? Or a photo-op? Or maybe he was superman guitar player???
