Reverb just tweeted this, although it's from 2017 I hadn't seen it before ...

Noted there, a jag he reportedly owned is still for sale .. at US$110,000+ ... is this the most expensive offset ever ??

100+ thousand guitar... and looks like it was rendered on a Nintendo 64. :D

Rock 'n' roll memorabilia must be one of the least rock 'n' roll things ever, yet it seems to be so firmly ingrained in the culture.

That picture made me question whether or not they actually had the guitar they claimed to be selling.
Back in those days, everyone knew that if you were talking about Destiny's Child, you were talking about Beyonce, LaTavia, LeToya, and Larry.

That’s a great deal for a Jaguar. Over $6000 off AND free shipping!

Typical rock star move: just leaving shit at the management company.
