Coolest picture I've seen all day.

I saw the follow up video with Jimmy touring Gibson, signing and playing all 50 in the run. $50k for one of these. What do they call these customers? "Blues Lawyers"?

A lot of these guitars are being purchased by Boomers as an investment.
I couldn't do that, so I will never own one. A lot of working musicans are getting a bit tired of all of the quality guitars being snatched up by collectors and investors.
To me a 50K guitar is useless unless I can play the hell out of it.

Also, I'm sure it takes 20 minutes to tune that Monster.

I don't see these as a good investment, but what do I know? Hard for me to see these commanding more than they sell for now.
