I felt a bit uneasy about gigging my 70s tele and that has knocks all over it! This takes the biscuit though!
i feel uneasy about gigging any of my guitars.. they all have sentimental attachment, and have been modified, so in a way are all unique instruments.

A good point well made!

If he can spend that much on a guitar youd think he'd at least purchase some trousers.
The shorts and the novelty hat seem to cheapen the look of a 28K guitar

I imagine that is his special St Patricks Day outfit.

You should feel uneasy for even owning a telecaster, Ian ;)

Indeed. I friend of mine is the guitarist with the zepp tribute 'Whole Lotta Led' and he bought a Jimmy Page replica. It was knocked off its stand and the headstock snapped off. He bought one of the early ones and shelled out 10 grand for it. On HP too!  :x

i think it's insane! of course he could afford it, but if i could afford a 30k € PRS i'd buy 20 cheaper guitars and have 20 times the fun! it would be mental anyway and i've got still a bit of brain left, but some people have got so much money that 30k less make little difference... too much even for lawyers, i fear!

^ same here. though i guess it depends on how much money you have. if you have £30k you're probably not going to spend it all on a £30k PRS. But if you have so much money that you can't reasonably spend it (and that you're making a ton in interest etc.), then i guess you might as well.
