Yes - that one :w00t: (we all know it from a recent thread here) obviously hit the market…and got sold immediately. I wonder what the asking price was … anyone knows?

Woah that is insanely cool. No clue what the price was though. Probably insanely expensive particularly in that condition.

How do you buy a guitar like that 60 years ago and never play it?

Glad there’s museum pieces like this around, but I’d be afraid to touch it, never mind playing it.

Maybe I should stop looking too

Damn. $27k USD. That's expensive but doesn't seem outrageuos given the current market. I mean, that's a $65k guitar at Mike & Mike's

Hm... I thought it would be at least 65k for sure. That's not nearly as bad.

I have nothing to offer anybody, except my own confusion?

Mind you I just saw someone on here who posted their sonic blue Jag and it has the same shade of blue under the top coat.

It's enough to make anyone's wallet shrivel though. Fender used white, desert sand or silver. Maybe even nothing at all. Some sort of off blue colour though? Like a Mustang.

Hmm.

*Edit as I didnt read the OP properly

Nice to see we were yet again used as nothing more than a free resource for someone elses profit. Fuck these offset n00b investor bastards. I don't care if it's gatekeeping, get the fuck out of our club
Silly Rabbit, don't you know scooped mids are for kids?

What's the story with this JM. I must have missed some previous chat about it? I do know who bought it from that German company though...
