World's Most Expensive Guitar

[vontetzianos]

well I'd agree that 19 men's signatures on a guitar aren't worth $2.8m (except Mark Knopfler ) but it went to a good cause, so it's hardly 'overrated'.

In that case it isn't "overrated" as such, but I'd never want to own it.

A lot of people see something that is signed by someone famous and by association its seen as having a greater sense of value and most times it just doesn't.

"Collectors" find greater sense of value out of signatures, since most guitarists are "Players" not "collectors" we don't really care.

 

[Arctodus]

I understand if a band signs it. But having multiple "names" on it to me kind of demotes the value all together. Its become a graffiti canvas

 

[Adamh1331]

Im sure the person that has it doesnt even touch it or even know how to

I was worth $3.2 mil. before the Gallagher brothers signed it.

again, lolz

The money went to the Tsunami victims so it's not strange that it was sold for that much. It could have been something else. I don't think it should be listed as the most expensive guitar, although it is. The fact that it was made for charity disqualifies it IMO. It's not the guitar itself that is valuble and it was certainly not the reason someone bought it.

 

[Trespass]

The amusing part, is that there really isn't any difference at all, pre and post signature, to the guitar itself. That's $2'798'000 of nostalgic value right there.

Edit: And none of those guys are dead! SS.org could get a white strat and repeat the process to raise funds for a charity of our choice.

I don't see how that disqualifies it in any way. it is the most expensive guitar ever sold, and while it isn't a production guitar available to the public on retail, I never specified that it was so it's not 'disqualified' from anything.

jeez you new guys really like bold posting don't you?

who uh, who give a shit

its pretty damn cool, but it only sold for that because of the legends that signed it

 

[bulletbass man]

Nah, a 2101

Really fixed

Convincing everyone to make 7 or 8 string versions of our favorite sixers right

It's missing 20 strings, a floyd, and a solid diamond case.

Am I not allowed to have an opinion?

For me it's not the most expensive guitar if I would do list of them. Thats what I think then you can think whatever you want.

"New guys" you say? New to what?

I love reading things properly.


I don't get people who get defensive over text on a forum... except for the luthiers here when people talk smack about them by all means they have the right to.

you're entitled to your opinion, I just wanted to share with y'all something interesting, nevermind. and you're new to the forum, but I don't got no beef with you.

you're still speaking on your own behalf, and your post came across rude.

I wasn't 'getting defensive', just being rude back. you might want to get some more posts under your belt before you try to be a smartass.

Hahahah, nice

 

[SargeantVomit]

Does anyone else notice the obvious "one of these things is not like the other" on there?

I apologize I did not know post count governed tolerance for you reading text in an incorrect tone.

I'll be sure to spam excessively in the off topic section for a few days to get a few thousand posts so I can "smart ass" it up.

*Makes jerking off motion in air*

Btw if anyone disagrees with me and feels they value "collectors value" over playability on a guitar feel free to say so. Reasons I used a general term like "most" because I don't speak for everyone... difficult concept I know.

They have just as much a right to speak boldly as you do

Dude! relax, take a chill pill, and get your head out of your ass. There is nothing wrong with what he said, aside from a some bad punctuation . I fail to see what's so "rude" about it. Don't get offended at his last post either, because you were basically asking for that one.

hmmm...Qatar...2.8 million, Im not surprised.
