Ugly headstock repair, replaced parts, non-standard jack... hell, I wouldn't pay a penny more than $249K for it.  ;D

“ As much as it pains me to sell it I just don’t use it anymore and hate to see it just sitting on my wall in my guitar room. It deserves to be played and wail as Gibson intended  . I’ll miss it but hope it goes to someone that needs it’s huge sound”

Sure, everyone that pays a quarter-mil for a guitar takes it out and gigs it all the time!!

He forgot to add the part about someone with more money than sense. And I'm sure $250K would ease his pain.

Some truly 100% original 59s have sold for over 100K. This one is miles away from that. You might say it must of got lost somewhere down the line.  :P

But Jeff Beck is playing it on the cover of that Guitar Player magazine - that has to count for something?  ;)
