I suppose it's up to whoever is spending the cash, but I wouldn't even pay the same for a "relic'd" guitar as I would for a "non-relic'd" one.
$24k for a guitar artificially aged?
If they sell any of these at that price, P.T. Barnum was right I guess.

hahahahaa, I agree, his original hand painted Physedelic SG is on display in Cinncinati's Rock n roll hall of fame. What a sound, raw and loose ! the new Cream DVD coming out Nov 21st is suppose to be filled with never before seen footage of Eric,Jack and Ginger.jroberts said:

I've saw on a few months ago listed for $30,000 US on eBay. They're already using good ole evilBay to try and up the value. I figure if EC starts putting out music similar to his post Derek 70s stuff then it will most likely drop in value.

Why would anybody buy a "pre-beat-up" guitar? I much prefer to do that myself! Does that mean that I could get 5k for a beat-up 2005 Les Paul? Oh wait, I'm not famous, I guess I'll get less than what I have paid for!
It's like ESP with the Kirk Hammet model at around 4k. The guitar shows heavy wear, just as if it had toured for like a year and a half or something. I don't understand why anybody on this earth would like to spit 4k on a guitar that leads straight to Hammet? I mean you wont be able to play anywhere with this, you'll have to stick to Metallica's stuff... Same goes for that Eric Clapton model or whatever artist's model. Do you really want to buy the Zakk Wylde Custom model Les Paul? Cuz if you do, you'll be tagged forever and get stuck with it. If it's for collectible purposes, then it's different, but I don't see myself going on stage with a "Signature model". I prefer to give it my own touch.

Most people will, but, these are official, highly accurate (moreso than practically anything someone could make from pictures) and limited edition.
Though, it's more along the spirit of the guitar to do your own.

It's not just the famous electrics that get gouged, er, gouge.
Bill Monroe's F5 mandolin, a 1923 Gibson, was purchased in a barber shop in Florida in 1941 for 250$. Bill, pissed at Gibson for some slight years ago, dug out the script "the Gibson" inlay with a knife and broke the scroll off the headstock. He played it like that for years, then eventually, Gibson patched things up and repaired the headstock, sometime in the 80's. Around the time of Monroe's passing, someone broke into his home and smashed the mandolin. It was expertly repaired to playable condition, and auctioned after Bill's death for a rumored 2.6 million. It sits on display in Nashville, I've heard.
Gibson has reissued the Loar-designed F5, it sells for 18,000USD in new condition, and 27,000USD in "distressed" condition. Yup. 9 grand and a wire brush, and some pick scratches....
FAAAAAAAAAK

I've been chuckling at recent posts on the LPF from guys trying to get their LP's to check. Leaving them out in frigid temperatures overnight and blasting them with hairdryers and every kind of instrument abuse you can imagine. One guy seems almost in a state of desperation because he can't get his guitar to crack up, and some of the advice on how to do it is a scream. It's the "instant gratification" syndrome at it's best.
Guitars like the Blackie reissues are aimed at who? No self respecting guitar player would want any signature model, reliced or not, if they were trying to make a name for themselves. No experienced collector would be fool enough to think they will increase substantially in value since they are too well documented and "unplayable" because of the price, hence they will all likely remain in mint(?) condition and won't be considered rare or no one will have the "best one." That pretty much leaves the posers with more disposable income than brains. Fortunately for Fender, there are plenty of them around.
