Pretty much sums up my thinking - and on that basis I still believe the price is way out of line in comparison to the true "museum piece" example I cited above...

Seein' as I didn't win the big billion $$$ jackpot I'll have to take this one off my watch list.

Seriously though I'd rather have a nice custom Ebony or burst. I'd want to lock that '60 up in a safe deposit box LOL

Oh, some do. Greg Martin of the Kentucky Headhunters and Bonamassa come to mind. Billy Gibbons, Sir Paul…..yeah, not your typical bar band pickers, but they do play these relics. (the guitars)
