Looks kinda cool, but for $12k you'd think that they could include an unbroken jack plate, or at least the two missing screws. Come on, get real. Speaking of screws...I think you'd have a few loose ones to buy that.

Well, considering vintage 1958 Les Paul Jr DC can go for 15 or 20k without a leather covering, without seeing under the cover who knows. but there is a chance that the guitar itself is worth what they are asking, with or without the leather cover.

You missed my point.
However, I just don't see the point of spending that kind of money on any guitar unless you're a collector and/or plan on reselling it at a higher price.
 
a buddy of mine has a '56 jr and its a fantastic guitar, granted he didnt spend $10k+ on it but he tried almost everything in the shop and that was the one that came home a bunch of years ago

Oh yeah, got it. agree.

I own 30 something guitars and are or will be pretty beat up from gigs and travel -I don't want any museum guitar pieces personally.

So when people come over and see them all over the walls and ask if I'm a collector -I say no.

People don't view a man with 30 different kinds of pliers or wrenches in his toolbox as a collector either. :D

OMG!! I just realized I'm a collector of drill bits: Black oxide, titanium, carbide coated; metric, SAE; 135 degree points, brad points; forstner bits; spades; speedbits; Daredevil points; auger bits; etc.. 300-400 bits in my shop.

I really should see a therapist. And to top it all off, my wife thinks that 60 guitars is excessive as well and wants me to sell more! Heaven help me. All I want is more. I'm doomed.

But at least I'll never buy a leather covered guitar with a broken jack plate with missing screws for over $12k. There's relief in sight.
