Uh... yeah... sure... maybe the flight case cost that much... I could be way off, but I find it hard to believe ANY guitar costs that much to manufacture... |

Location: puerto vallarta, mexico | thanks for the link tomcatt. that's a very different jimi than the full blown electric jimi. i've always liked that tune too.
miles, maybe the flight case is a cesna. could be worse. look at that hendrix 12 string. 300-400k estimate and it is kindling with strings attached. and some of those fender squires signed by some distortion heroes with estimates of 5 large--------phew!!! the only time my autograph is worth anything is if it is below the pay to the order of line. oh well, when i paint my masterpiece................ |

Thanks for the tip on the National Russ but I don't do Elvis, He's dead and let's let the poor SOB rest in peace. (Yeah, I know, he wasn't that poor and he was seen entering the building or riding in a CDV downtown)
We made a bunch of double necks for Ritchie and others at the time. I came across one somewhere for $5000. It was costing us at least double that at the time to make them so I bought it and it got recyled into the endorsee pool. Don't know who wound up with it. |
