Location: Michigan | :eek: My favorite guitar dealer in my area has just got in the # 24 of 25 made of a Jimmy Page Les Paul that he signed and played.
The price is $50.000.00.
Do you think it will sell??? :eek:
I am absolutely amazed by what the Gibson & Fender guitar companys are coming out with in the last few years and the rediculous prices ( to me )for brand new reproduction guitars.Whats up with someone paying that kind of cheese for something brand new and not an original?
Any ideas of what might be next?GWB |

Guarantee they will sell in no time.
And in a couple of years they'll bring out another 25 and charge $75000

He played it, so it's not new - it's second hand. And he signed it, so it's shop soiled.
I'd be pushing for a discount. |

The owner of the guitar store told me last Friday that he had a serious looker coming in to look at it this past weekend.GWB |

If there is some kind of special edition guitar like this, he will have them. It's nice to look anyway. |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | If you really did have $50,000 to blow on guitars, just imagine the collection you could create. I would have a bunch of players and probably nothing that would need to be behind glass. Some nice amps, too. Maybe some neon to brighten up the place as well. |

but I didn't have to buy the guitar :D
Mike, in all seriousness, I share your thoughts. Cleaning out a file cabinet, I found the letter that Les gave me with my guitar. He contributed a lot to the music industry. |

Location: Michigan | I personally would not let anybody sign their name on one of my nice guitars.
I would buy a Fender Squier or whatever cheap brand of guitar to do that to.
Would you really ruin one of your best guitars to let a celebrity sign their name on it with a sharpie? No Way.GWB |

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Thanks Tony: he really has been a big part of my life: I have owned 15 Les Pauls in my lifetime...and I have the neck/shoulder problems to prove it...
I like Zep...been jammin to them since 1968/9 and I have played a lot of their music over the years: but there is nothing quite like a Les Paul and for me that means a Les Paul Custom (3 pups).
I also have the pic's from the signing and the newspaper article from the reporter there that night and a letter! Yes, I bought this Les Paul but it has probably tripled in price since I bought it: it is the only 3 pup Custom made in 1997.
GWB, I have other guitars to play...this one is special and is an investment...but I do play it and it is SWEET...I just take care of it...Les is not getting any younger...and he's an Icon and a gentleman...again, for me, I am proud to have his sig. on his guitar model that has made Rock history! How cool is that...Tony, I know you feel the same way! |

That will be worth more when Les goes as an individual signing rather than ones done for commercial greed and marketing.
