Q: I am a lefty. What makes this one so valuable? Feb-13-12
A: as you know left handed from back then were only made on custom orders. and only 3 produced that year, other 2 cant be located. most likely destroyed. so the limited number alone + its a blond which was a more expensive option when ordering then the standard model. i mean this one here is kinda famous just because i had it listed 2 years ago for 1million and had over 30,000 people view it, and took it to a few guitar show for viewing. i know something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. realistically we both know for example we wouldn't buy a rock from mars for 40million. or a comic book for 1million but there are people who would. im not saying this guitar is worth a million or not, but with it being the only one known out of the 3, its hard to put an exact value on it. its like any limited item. it would only take the right collector to view. im not sure ebay is even the right venue, even viewed 50,000 views out of that how many are serious buyers? and with billions of people in the world that isn't even 1 millionth of a % of the population. you don't even have to be on the forbs list to buy this. im just looking for a good offer, i had offers of 10, 12, 15, and 18 thousand then all the other offers are like under 1000 and under 100 come on, i just need a fair realistic offer. even at the show someone offered me 20 thousand. put this guitar in-front of the right collectors willing to spend and the sky's the limit. thanks for viewing, shes a beautiful guitar. have a great day.
