Well, I've now seen everything I"d never even heard of BLACK MACHINE guitars outside of some obscure references on the inter webs. Today, I saw one on Ebay. I'd always heard they were CRAZY expensive but get ready for this.
$18,000!!!! FOR ONE GUITAR!! I hate to seem shocked but my goodness! My car is brand new and didn't cost that much. Has anyone played these? I'm sure some folks think it's worth this, and some rich rock star might think it's cheap But yeah, 18k? For one guitar? It looks kinda basic? Has EMGs? For 18k? Really? Here is the link to prove I"m not making this up. http://www.ebay.com/itm/321322364715?ssPag...984.m1555.l2649 |

I agree. The only reason to get one of those is exclusivity I guess, I'd be surprised otherwise. Plus, you obviously better be rich if you intend to get one

Funny how they use the headstock (albeit reversed) more or less from Parker, who when they did it, got laughed at...

If I had 18 grand to toss around, I think I would pick up one of these and spend the rest on a lavish vacation.

A few years ago one of my guitar teachers had one; it was really nice. Not as expensive as this one, though.

[attachment=35847:DSC08877.jpg] http://www.ebay.com/itm/2007-Ibanez-Steve-...=item2588b8bdac That is one badass looking guitar. I don't think I'd spend $18,000 for anything. Hell I won't even pay that much for a car. |

Its interesting to see the ebay listing for this one now...They have reduced the price slightly now to $15777....bit better...and believe it or not they have refused 7 offers so far....the Highest being OMG $11,500!!!!!!!!!
EDIT: The seller has now withdrawn the article for sale...as it is no longer available!....Probably sold! http://www.ebay.es/itm/Extremely-Rare-Blac...;_qi=RTM1685972 This post has been edited by Headbanger: Feb 17 2014, 06:20 PM |

I think the main part of the price is the exclusivity. Black Machine is now made under licence by Feline Guitars, producing the B6 and B7 (I think). The B2 guitars were made by the founder of Black Machine himself and are very rare, I had a feeling that someone mentioned this was the owners personal guitar, but if it wasn't stated in the advert then I might be mistaken

Man, what you couldn't buy for that money instead! I'm not sure I'd even dare to play that one if it cost that much.
