foo Active member Nov 22, 2002 #3 Yeah - Tundra Music are pretty pricey, eh? They are also a reputable dealer in vintage guitars, so it's probably legit. But why would anyone want a '58 Burst. Gibson didn't put decent sized frets on these until early '59, so this guitar has those old-style little frets. They're fishing for a buyer - hoping some rockstar with tax issues for this year will buy it. Hell, it's only worth $80k max! foo

Buck62 噛んでくれ Nov 22, 2002 #7 That guitar would only be worth $130,000 if they dug up Les Paul himself and included his skeleton with the guitar. Seriously though, that axe is worth less than 1/4 of what they're asking and will probably fetch a top bid no higher than $15,000 or $16,000. They must've been stoned and laughing awfully hard when they posted that asking price.

matty_boy New member Nov 22, 2002 #8 Wait Don't get me wrong. It seems to be in unbelievable shape for its age. an amazing guitar by my account. Just worth about 0.1 what they are asking(that's 1/10 for those to the south).

C charger New member Nov 23, 2002 #11 Just the fact that the guy's touching it with his grimy paws makes me want to bid no more than 60k. Not even wearing gloves!
