Offered at $37.5k...........somebody in the US would snap that up for sure...... but the seller really wants it to stay here with that price.
Doin' that scrapyard thing.

It would definitely be worth his time to set up a reverb account. That's a $50k guitar by the looks of things.

Re: A vintage '54
Why would the seller care so long as they get paid? Not like it's a national treasure.
I'd like to get it and just use it for half-arsed guest spots playing Wagon Wheel. And a PRS Private Stock Eagle-Turd inlay for the Proud Mary encore.

Investment.... The once much hated 70s and 80s models seem to be going up in price. Considered vintage already. There's probably a better return on investment on these. Especially for us mortals on a beer budget.

I love how a Man justifies his passions.

It's amazing how the likes of CBS Strats can gain some sort of mystique for seemingly no other reason than age.

You want to trade one of those heavy Les Pauls they made a couple of years ago? It's not worth much I'm afraid, nobody really wants the things.

You’ve ruined me Grant! I was pretty much cured, taking my time to make rational, considered decisions, until you introduced me to vintage p90’s......
