Guitars you'd love to own

[tomballin]

Those are just estimated values (basically opening bids) and are always set very low to anticipated actual selling prices,....(are done that way on purpose).

For example sold last May 2004 in open auction:

Clapton's "Blackie"
Estimated: $100,000-150,000
Actual: $959,500

SRV's "Lenny"
Estimated: $15,000 - $20,000
Actual: $623,500

If those kind of multiples hold up, you do the math on what those Hendrix guitars are going to bring, and this market is still extremely strong for the sellers this year.

Well, here are some links to an auction occurring in London on the 16th:

http://www.cooperowen.com/asp/search.asp?pg=31&ps=7

There are 3 Stratocasters owned by Hendrix up for auction, expected to fetch from 60,000 to 150,000 pounds UK.

There are 33 pages of stuff up for auction, including a bunch of autographed items, etc.

Also a bass owned by Noel Redding (and a bunch of other Noel Redding stuff).

Ok, understanding the above numbers, anybody want to guess what this Jimi Hendrix famous guitar is going to actually sell for. This guitar is the top item of the entire auction.

What do you think?

[tomballin]

Here's the details:

Est: $218,560 - $291,240

Again this range is basically opening bid on a guitar like this.

[tomballin]

Maybe Mr. Moderator Pelvis could count the frets for us again, baawaaa!

[tomballin]

Ok, how about this one.

What do you think will be the price it will actually sell for?
Est: $8,740 - $11,660

Note: Like 7-8 years ago, a little 1 inch headband/sweatband that Hendrix wore, (supposedly he put acid in it while playing so the acid would soak into his sweat pores on his head during the gig), sold for $6,750.

ESP George Lynch Tiger Stripe

an Auerswald

an original 50s Fender Stratocaster

a 70s Hoyer Domino Telecaster

a Duesenberg Flying V with Bigsby tremolo

[Last_Child]

A Les Paul with Jimmy Page Signature or a SG with Angus' signature.

A Gibson L5 -- perferably the Wes Mongomery model. Not that I would ever learn how to play it. Instead, I would place it in the corner of the house somewhere and stare at it all day long.

[Soul Reaper]

Jackson Soloist:

[Nitro Express]

Yeah that Gibson L5 is so beautiful, it almost makes me horny. I think I would be staring at it on the wall in total mezmerization as I would staring at a naked picture Shakira.

[Coyote]

Here's another one...

[Kristy]

Yeah that L5 will always be associated with Wes. I actually saw one once through this guy who was more of a guitar collector than he was a player. It was kind of sad, really because that asshole spent over $12,000 on a guitar he never intended to play.


Now Wes on the other hand, oh fuck could her ever play an L5.

THAT is my all-time favorite V's or at least my most-admired. You're talking about the Lonnie Mack V by Gibson, 93-94... and you say Duesenberg makes one like that?

Theyre here locally in SoCal!
