One of those dickheads with the used guitar should take notes from a real man.

Or they could buy a guitar autographed for charity:

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.
