Read the comments, starting from the earliest. And keep in mind that 10% of the proceeds ($25,000) will go to support homeless dogs and cats.

Great idea Adrian - I'll take first go and have it for the next 25 years and then I'll pass it on

oh ok ...
i'll just want it first to see if everything is ok and original and THEN i'll send it over

Posted by: tonymiro Apr 19 2010, 06:52 PM

ok, I trust you Adrian.

Should I wait in for the courier to arrive in say 50 years from now?

Yeah, but apparently she is a descendant of Wallace, the guy from the movie "Brave Heart", which is why he calls here "Queen". So the price is much higher. $250,000 is pretty cheap to marry royalty. In the 19th century rich Americans used to marry landless English royalty, and I think they had to pay a lot more than that.


edit: aside, I have a now dead relative that married a descendant of Richard of Normandy (his surname was Hastings). But he made his money in WWII, pilfering stuff from Germany in 1945. Or so they say.

This chick actually looks like one of my ex-girlfriends....

But I'd love to own that guitar!

Posted by: Santiago Diaz Garces Apr 21 2010, 03:03 AM

Maybe you can get the guitar for a lower price for have had an ex gilfriend that looked like that girl. Think about it! Hahaha

You were a lucky man.

I bet that guitar will be a long term great investment. That, and Strats from the same period. It won't even matter where music heads in the future, those two have established themselves already in a historical sense, even if some day people play instruments as in this video below, 50's Les Pauls and Strats will still be worth a fortune (WARNING, before viewing this video, be aware that afterwords you may never be able to get the images and sounds of ULTIMATE LAMENESS out of your head...you have been warned, viewer discretion is advised"
