"Predicted to Sell Soon"

According to Reverb, 8 other people have this in their carts, so you'd better hurry up and buy this while you still have the chance.

Saw it on ebay. When I see it I think; who goes throgh the trouble of making this? And as for who buys it, how many guitar pickin'  Chinese emperors can there be?

My jaw kind of dropped down to my lap when I read these lines:

"There have been only a few masterpieces produced by Gibson with similar levels of craftsmanship. One of those is the 20th Century Tribute Super 400 (also built by Bruce), which commanded offers of $600,000 (Gibson declined those offers and still has the guitar)."

That's because Gibson wanted $1 million for it. But what a beauty!  :puke:

Let's not forget the $2 million "Eden of Coronet" Diamond-encrusted SG. I wonder what became of that.

Oh, I had repressed the memory of that SG. The perfect epitome of Henry J era megalomania.

I suspect it was that sort of crap that he thought would shore up his balance sheet.

Yes, and it seems he went for rocket high above the pain threshold of the wealthiest collectors with those guitars.
