    It's not often I lust after something,

    That's not gun related, but then I saw this...

    They haven't listed a price as of this morning, but it look like 100K minimum.

    I get it…..double necks are really impractical but just super cool and awesome. Clearly they’re going after the collectors. But if Gibson were to put this in production for a decent price I’d buy one.

    I passed on a Gibson 1275 signed by Jimmy years ago for $5,500. Ask me how stupid I was to pass that up.

    It will go way above that...famous axes go for chingos of coin!! I follow a lot of music related stuff. Quick search:

    Kurt Cobain’s 1959 Martin D-18E acoustic guitar from Nirvana’s iconic MTV Unplugged performance sold for $6 million at Julien’s Auction. This broke the record for the most expensive guitar ever sold

    February 17, 2005. Jimi Hendrix's 1965 Fender Stratocaster burnt by Hendrix in March 1967 at the Finsbury Astoria sells for £100,000 at an auction in London

    Alex Lifeson rocking one of his favorites, especially early on, the redoubtable Gibson ES-355. This guitar sold at auction 2 yrs ago for for $384,000.


    I had a 1970 fender strat starburst I sold back in the 90's to get gun stuff...ugghh.

    That's a limited edition Guitar, so even at 100K it's going to only grow in value.
    Signed by Jimmy Page (if he's at the event?) the price will easily go to 500K.

    I've been eyeballing a double neck for a little bit now. Nothing this expensive, but a player. I just know I'd kick myself later for dropping 5k on a guitar that hurts my bad back.

    I've been thinking about a Ricky 12 string. Never had one before and think it would be interesting. Double necks seem like they would be heavy as F.

    A friend of mine had a gorgeous old Martin acoustic, 1937 I think, don't recall the model. I lost touch with him then ran into him about 5 years later, in the late 80s. To my horror, he'd gotten himself twisted up on coke and pawned it for 300$. I'd have given him a k for it. I don't even want to know what it's worth today.

    The SGs are light guitars in single configurations. So they're the model to double up on. They're such a romantic idea, but I can see regretting the purchase pretty quickly.

    I love Jimmy Pages guitar playing.
    I tried to follow the science but it simply was not there. I then followed the money, thats where i found the science.

    It looks like Epiphones will follow suit and make one we can justify.
