That's a lot o'dinero.

The buyer had been looking at asking prices on Reverb, so they think they stole it.

At 3.9 a steal. If it were 4 it would have been grossly overpriced

Class dismissed!

I’m surprised Seymour Duncan hasn’t auctioned Beck’s “Tele-Gib” yet… I’m sure it would make the top 5. I think David Gilmour, whose Black Strat would be the one I’d want of all these, holds the distinction of being the only one who was here to give the money away after the sale.

I just wish I had that sort of money to even think about blowing it on a guitar!

I wonder what my guitars will sell for when I'm dead.

I'm curious if Eddie ever played this, or if it was just used during the filming of that video...

Dunno, but I’ll offer your daughters a bulk rate of $350 each.

I'll go $300. Price Is Right rules, correct?

 

[ViperDoc]

That guitar is legend. Wow!

when I'm dead.

If you die before me, I promise I’ll play nothing but your blue guitar for two years to honor your memory.

I bid one dollar...

It does! How interesting.

He used it quite a bit on their ‘83 South American tour. Never for a recording, though!

You bastage... that was my limit!

Family bag! (Right in the chuckies)

Doesn’t Wolfgang have a lot of his dads guitars? I could have sworn Wolfie used some of them on recordings for his band, Mammoth WVH.
