No pics of him playing it? Seems extremely high considering Blackie and Brownie went for about that and everyone knows those guitars. Woodstock guitar would be a different story.

Cool memorabilia though, thanks for sharing!

I bought it and had it shipped overnight...then I personalized it a bit:

Great, you just ruined an vintage guitar. No respect for the past, I tell ya.

Aceman is nothing if not irreverent lol, he had me at Ratt sticker

Seriously though there is no real way to wrap your head around a million dollar guitar. I wonder generations from now how some of these guitars will be valued? Not so much dollar wise but inherently. Will anyone care that Jimi, or Greeny or EC played them? At some point a killer 64/65 Strat is just that, will provenance matter in say 50, 100 years?

Seems like a lot for something that needs to be refinished. Probably needs a fret job too. :dunno:

1k to ship? Why even have a shipping price on it? If I were ever in a position to buy something like this, it would have its own plane seat right next to me, Bonamassa style.

Yeah - I have enough to buy that, I have a G5 to go pick it up personally...

I think the $1k is for the meet and greet with Leon :wink:
