You are gona have to get the Platnium Card out for this one!!!!!

 

[Sigmunds Couch]

Nice!

DaveB or Brett? I'm sure that this grabs your interests. I would love to see something like this come home but it's way out of my tax bracket.

 

[SteveB]

I'd rather buy eight grand worth of new guitars from EBMM so the money would go to our favorite guitar makers. Imagine what that kind of money could get you:

* 20th Silo
* Blue Pearl Albert Lee SSS
* 30th StingRay
* Stealth single H Bongo

This would be a nice bundle!

 

[Mick]

Brett will take care of it.

Boy that's tempting. Pretty steep price obviously, and if I weren't in the middle of putting together my home theater, I'd likely seriously consider it.

58" Panasonic plasma and B&W speakers, or another guitar????

 

[francric]

too much money........I'm with Steve..........

 

[fogman]

I think the seller has been reading this forum and found out how rare it is!

 

[Jonny Dubai]

V. rare..Out of my league even in US dollars!!!!!!

I know the seller and we tried to come to a deal last year, but he knows what he has, and he is not going to let it go cheap. It is a very rare and very nice guitar, but in my opinion he is a little high on his price. When I say high, I mean around 30% more than what I have seen one go for. But when you consider only 26 in exisistence, I would grab it if I had the cash!

 

[GWDavis28]

It's a beauty, but the price is out of site. True it is rare, but he's asking a ton for it. Heck, $125 for shipping in the US, it cost me between $30 and $40 to ship from Massachusetts to SLO.

You don't see too many EVH's that don't have matching headstocks.

I've seen a few Mr Horsepowers go for less and there are only 25 of those

(Of course I've seen some go for more too ...)

B&W are pretty nice speakers.

 

[brentrocks]

i agree that it is too much....shoot, you could have 3 or 4 really nice EVHs for that amount!!!

heck...i only have $2000 more than that wraped up into my whole collection

83704....anybody checked out the serial # to see if it is a real gold? i'm sure it is, but you cant be too careful...

 

[koogie2k]

Good point Brent. You have to be sure, especially for the price. Way more than I would pay....but that is strictly me.

 

[Norrin Radd]

Absolutley ridiculous.

Guitars are to be played, not collected.

That poor thing is what, a decade old or so? It ought to be beat to hell and been played lovingly for the last several years. Very sad.

 

[Krell]

Jaxadam -

Yeah, B&Ws are nice speakers. I've got 802s currently and really love them. I'll keep the stereo comment short though as I don't want to high jack this thread!

The gold top seems high to me too. $6k might be a fair asking price, but as someone already said, there's only 26, and it's worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.

 

[brett8388]

I've got an outstanding $6K offer for a gold one with another seller and have really no interest in moving on one priced at $2500 more.

Very cool guitar and something I'd like, but I'm not going to overpay for one.

[phatduckk]

the $125 shipping is rediculous ... that essentially raises the price of the guitar by like $85

id consider the BIN more like $8,600 w/ $25 shipping

 

[GWDavis28]

Phatty, for $8500 man the shipping should be free!!!

Brett, are you gonna move on the one you have located?

[AVH]

wow!

the seller could be fogman...he posted the same pic a while ago about another goldtop http://www.ernieball.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13342

to me it's a $1500 guitar....but I can see how appealing it is to someone into collecting so hat's off to whoever buys this and hope they enjoy it.
