this $60,000 guitar comes with a padded gigbag!

It's from an established seller, for sure, so it must be legit but I just can't take this seriously. Is this April 1st?

I am rather shocked at the asking price in the first place let alone what it ships with...

Not that I'd every even contemplate paying that much for a guitar... but I do believe it has a solid 1 piece carved guitar (neck/body) of olive ash burl wood and is really targeted more towards a collector than an actual player - or someone with more money than sense.

I honestly don't find the guitar that good looking myself.... and I have to wonder what you do if you have a neck issue (warpage, breakage). Guess the whole guitar then becomes fireplace kindling. I don't see where the solid carved one piece brings anything to the table other than a liability if damaged.

You'd think that that price it would have a case made from unobtanium or something similar and not nylon. BUT... they do give you a flame maple display stand!

The part where it says "Save $14,999.00" is hilarious.

Actually I like it. It is a piece of art in addition to probably being a very nice playing guitar. -- Darwin

There is a bit more than the Mono case (which is an exceptionally good gig bag):

"It includes a wooden display stand made of the very wood the guitar was carved from, and a Mono case for traveling with the instrument sans stand. There’s also a heavy duty road case that the wooden display will be shipped in."

Cool features and cool looks. Even if I had that kind of money, I'd take my time deciding

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say in 5 years, that listing will still be up and unsold. By then, the seller will be asking only a fraction of what he is now.

Given the "starting price " currently new on the website is $70,000 Euros ($86,089.50 USD) I would guess it is legit (way ridiculous, IMO) but legit

only gig bag? you mean it doesnt come with self playing uber software? LOL, personally, i think its kind of ugly looking, maybe something youd see in the 22nd century

[Teleplucker]

Possibly the ugliest looking pickups that I have ever seen, but they seem to match the guitar. I'll pass on that one.

Well it's just another plank isn't it.

Seriously I kinda like the design aspects.
