I would have thought that Brian May's guitar would be in that list.

The typo is what makes it expensive. That's some clever marketing by eFnder.

Amazes me how much money so very many have to piss off.
They're friggin' used guitars and I personally don't care who played them.
They'd have a hard time getting me to go over $750.00 for any of them and if so I'd sell
it back to one of those dumb asses that would pay that much.

This one isn't on the list, and I'm quite sure it's worth a fortune - the original '59 Beauty of the Burst aka the Stanley Burst.

At any rate, the regular Gibson 2015 line up isn't far behind... What's the price on a standard LP this year? $4-5000?
I have a feeling that we're about to see Fender guitars becoming trendy again. And not only because of Gibson's obscene prices.
Just recently I was reading an interview w/ Bonamassa and he was singing the virtues of the strat. It's all phases. I tell you, we're being buttered up...

I think those are guitars that were actually sold and that those were the (sometimes incorrect) prices paid at different points in time and not adjusted for inflation.
Hendrix guitar was (not surprisingly) bought by Paul Allen of Microsoft fame and he can certainly afford to pay it.
Garcia's Tiger was bought by Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts. He has an extensive collection that also includes guitars owned by George Harrison, Elvis and others. He too can afford it.
 In order, then, to discover the limit of deepest tones, it is necessary not only to produce very violent agitations in the air but to give these the form of simple pendular vibrations. - Hermann von Helmholtz, predicting the role of the electric bassist in 1877.

I heard on the radio when I in lived in Dallas that Jimi Hendrix ordered 2 actual left-handed Strats.
He died before they were delivered and that Dallas native Steve Miller owns them now.
Probably not worth any more than any other 1970s Strat, though.

The only one of those I have any first hand knowledge of is Stevie's "Lenny". Almost unplayable by anyone other than Stevie. Super high action...large gauge strings (13s?)...and whammy on the wrong side. While I completely understand the historical value these instruments have, I'm with Spacey.

Glad I have company Myolpal. One of those dickheads with the used guitar should take notes from a real man.

Or they could buy a guitar autographed for charity: http://www.guitarmastercl...ex.php?showtopic=51943
1. Reach Out to Asia Strat. $2,700,000
In 2004, tragedy struck in the form of a fiercely destructive tsunami, affecting several nations in the Indian Ocean. To help raise money for relief efforts, a signed Fender Strat was auctioned off—and it wasn’t signed by just anybody. This guitar features the signatures of sheer legends: Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Ronnie Wood, Brian May, David Gilmour, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Mark Knopfler, Pete Townshend, Tony Iommi, Angus Young, Malcolm Young, Sting, Ritchie Blackmore, the members of Def Leppard, Bryan Adams, Liam Gallagher, and Paul McCartney. The guitar raised ALMOST $3m for Reach
Out to Asia, a charity formed to help victims of the tsunami.
All of the Clapton guitars on the list were also sold at auction to benefit Eric's charity.

And that's a good thing. It's the purchases by uber wealthy collectors ( as in the art world) that will be sequestered away on some wall in one of several private mansions...never to be seen by the public again...that, though totally understandable, gall the peewaddlin out of me. It's not enough that some of these dumbasses will pay a completely obscene amount for these pieces but then they double down on their ignorance and arrogance by preventing anyone else from enjoying their historical context.
