yep thats what they go for....and yes there is a real one in town. Bought by a school teacher locally in 1961, its a 59, in the flametop book. I believe he told me it cost around $275 at the time, still has the store sticker on the headstock. He knows exactly what it is worth and doesn't care, I'm sure his kids will feel differently!
I usually see it once a year or so and have borrowed it for recording. The sad thing is in 96 I could have bought one of these for $35,000 US, and almost did,,,ah woulda should coulda!!! - Thu, 22 Feb 2007 10:29pm

Wow, 165,900.00 pound sterling was the final bid, it scary that the guitar is being sent from Leeds, Yorkshire. Hope they ship it in a hardcase. - Fri, 23 Feb 2007 2:38pm Edited: Fri, 23 Feb 2007 3:31pm

I'm sure that the paint can be removed so you can bring the old finish back (I wonder if they painted over the protection of the guitar, the clear shiny stuff.) - Sat, 3 Mar 2007 3:57pm Edited: Sat, 3 Mar 2007 5:30pm
