Gee, I don't know. I'd be willing to pay an extra couple of grand more if I could get one with a little more wear.

This is to exploit the rabid fan, who probably still lives with mom and spends every last cent on comic books and guitar mods. JUST because his idol does something wacky to his guitar he will too. But I didn't think they had an extra $12,500 lying around. How many do you think they'll sell? 5?

Geez, those 70s Strats are already ugly enough as it is straight from the factory with the large, bulbous headstock, et cetera. There's no need to uglify one even more with all that distressed finish nonsense.

Ummm, you've just described me to a T... :roll:

Mom's put it on my Christmas list, but she just lost her job at Wal-Mart changing light bulbs @ 8.50/hr, so chances are slim.

One can always hope.

Just what the hell are they thinking????? :?: Perhaps some bail out bigwig with a nice bailout bonus for doing such a bang up job will buy it.

The whole overpriced celebrity beat-up (and beaten-up) guitar idea is sooooo pre-financial crisis....

and has anyone else noticed that most of the celebrities have kind of passed their use-by date?
