For the ones interested. The ones, not me ;-). 45k for a strat is a little steep

Cool guitar but not even kind of worth 45 thousand Euro ($47,400 at today's exchange rate).

Holy smokes, that price!

Most of the used instrument market has lost its freakin’ mind.

There are still bargains to be had. Not this one though.

All used Strats are only worth $500

All used Strats are only worth $500

And this is not even a production model, just a prototype that did not make the cut

I wish you'd posted this five minutes earlier...

(I didn't make a big mistake.)

Everything has increased, I see good offers like things sometimes sold for more than new, ridiculous.

Yep, Carlos sent it back!

Yes sir, that’s what I mean. Used stuff… guitars, amps, pedals, speakers, just stupidly priced. During the pandemic, I kind of understood. Nothing on the shelves, apocalyptic fear (no matter how silly) of never getting your beloved gear again. But shelves are nowhere near as bare as they once were, and people are still scalping for all they’re worth and, as you said, asking near or at new prices, with the added cost of shipping especially, for very used gear.

And, yes, I know that I don’t have to buy it. And I don’t! But I do miss shopping through reasonably priced gear back when there were only occasionally bizarre pricing examples. Now it’s the reasonable prices that look bizarrely out of place.

Rant over [mostly]

The funny part is the letter from John saying he wanted all Silver sky's to be great
Some collectors are crazy , I mean maybe 50 years from now if it was gig played by JM and CS , signed and given to me by PRSh

Fortunately, I just managed to get something that was priced too high. Seller came to his senses and dropped his price by $1100.

All used Strats are only worth a maximum of $500

FIFY

The prototype aspect makes it unusual, true, but this asking price is 100% capitalizing on the fact that a celebrity's fingers touched it, and he didn't think it was worth hanging onto.

Celebrity worship is way out of hand.

It’s been a minute since they released a new limited edition color for Mayerites to screw each other over on.

I think the next one should be called Cool Ranch.

 

[Alnus Rubra]

Maybe give the new one an Ebony headstock veneer and call it “Odd Job”.

Can't do it. Not made in Korea

Perhaps it will cut sharply through the mix yet remain quiet.
