I'm not sure which is worse, that such a beautiful instrument was destroyed by some stroppy cow (although maybe husband deserved it) or that a bunch of half decade old splinters is going for over £300

Post by: sambo on July 08, 2007, 06:46:02 PM: i thought it was a bit of an extreme price too...

but then if anyone's going to buy it at all, it's gonna be a 1-in-a-million guy who dropped his '52 goldtop and wants it repaired authentically... and he'd probably be willing to pay $$$... if you see what i mean

Post by: noodleplugerine on July 08, 2007, 06:56:36 PM: The binding on it's own is probably worth more than that - And it seems in good nick.

Post by: Ratrod on July 08, 2007, 07:01:06 PM: How can you tell it's a '52 Gibson?

Might as well be a '98 Epiphone.

Post by: badgermark on July 08, 2007, 09:49:37 PM: Better yet don't let your other half know that the gold guitar in the corner is a 52 and worth as much as a small nation. Cos lying is better than hiding.

Post by: Davey on July 08, 2007, 10:27:35 PM: well.. if the binding, that will ultimately be worth 1000$ is the difference between my 52 gold top being worth 50k, or 300k.. $%&# damnit, i'll pay for that binding!
