Wow, that's incredible! (both the looks and the price!)
So many great, detailed pictures of it too :)
-
cheap at the moment, lets see what it goes for
-
i'm gonna wait til the last few seconds to bid....

careful - reserve not met
-
Boo, didn't sell :( My guess is that the reserve was at $200,000 maybe?
-
ah well, better luck next time :)
-
It's knackered - who'd want that????
-
I'm not too surprised that this didn't meet the reserve and I'm more shocked it's even on the bay! For a '59 that supposedly has no mods, no damage and in that condition I would have thought there were a few dealers/ better channels out there who could have sold this without the need for such a superb and rare guitar being listed on Sh!te Bay. Ah well, I'll wait for it to be re-listed before I bid $200,001 :lol:

I'm sure Dave is ( almost ) fully sated with his notorious 'Bladderburst' Les Paul :
" It sounds good , because it smells good ; Texas urea is good for your ear " . :)
Mercy ... 8)

What will be the chance that that guitar will ever see a stage?
Such a shame those guitars are so overpriced and will never be used for what they're made for.
-
Not quite in mint condition is it? In fact, it looks like it's been dragged behind a truck. :wink: Still, it does at least look like it's had some use in its life, unlike, as Ratrod says, many guitars like it.
Can't make my mind up about how I feel about vintage guitars tbh. Sometimes I think it'd be really nice to have something old and interesting, and every vintage guitar I've played - a '73 LP Custom, '66 Fender Tele and a '56 Strat - has sounded fantastic. However, apart from the LP after a refret, none of them felt as good to play as a modern version, and they're so damned expensive!

i like vintage guitars and would snap a few more up if i had the coin.. feels amazing to play something like that, even if its not perfect. the history of an instrument gives great mojo - and Gibson still knew how to make great pickups until the late 80s when they discontinued the dirty fingers. even my 90s epiphone has some of that vintage feeling.

if I become a lottery millionaire at the weekend, thats mine. it's absolutely awesome.
-
I wish I hadn't put that $199,999 reserve on it.
The relisting fees will be horrendous. :x
-
I'm not usually a fan, but that looks lovely.
Didn't make the reserve though...
I'll list it again next week - I think Ebay has a deal on.
-
If it's a real '59, I don't think eBay is the best place to put it... But WHAT do I know about things with that price tag?? :lol:
-
For that price I can get 20 1958-'60 Gretsch 6120's.

Lovely choice : they were not just built in the 50s, they were the 50s ! 8)

I'd probably buy somewhere to live instead. :lol:

well ok then...somewhere to live & 10 Gretsch's

Its a shame it hasn't got the VOS finish or been plek'd. Maybe the seller should send it to Tom Murphy first

You might want a car too.
So.....a nice place to live, a brand new Mustang and 5 vintage Gretsches.
