Made me smile first thing this morning. http://www.mcall.com/news/local/police/all-a17_3guitars.7240262apr15,0,800262.story Made me wonder what the highest valuation an alembic has been assessed at? Jazzyvee | ||

$235K for a '59 LP? I think that's nuts, but I've seen them listed at $600K. What really caught my eye was the claim a 1982 Strat was worth $19.5K!!! Move that decimal point one place left and maybe we can talk - if this was '82 & it was new; early 80s Fenders were, um, let's just say not prime examples of Leo's genius. Peter | ||

Jazzyvee: The famous "Wolf", Jerry Garcia's Alembic that is the basis for the Further design, (though it has also been claimed by Doug Irwin - several discussions of which are around here), sold at auction for $789,500, including the "buyer's commission". Bill, tgo | ||

Anyone who can sell a late 1970s-early '80s Strat for that kind of money is a superb con man. And anyone who would pay that price is a prime sucker. Barnum, it seems, is proven correct once again. |
