Mine:
Bourgeois custom slope-shoulder dreadnought - $6300. In its defense, it was perhaps the most well-made thing I've ever seen.
1966 Gretsch Nashville Skyline (black) - $6000. It was a rare limited run of 6. Sounded fantastic.
Yours?

Page Hamilton Signature ESP, $999.
Played a Mascis siggy too, it was a used one but they retail over a grand.

A friend of my brothers commissioned a 12 string Telecaster from Fenders Custom shop. Allegedly it was the first ever use of the elongated 12 string headstock later used on the John 5 signature. I dunno though. It was all a bit shit, to be honest. It felt nice but the pickups were weeeeeaaak, and the strings were much too close together. Bit bland. It was seafoam green with body binding and neck binding. I don't know how much it cost, but it was more than our old house, so yeah. Shame it was shit.

I haven't played any really expensive guitars. A few fenders, RI Mustang, Baja Tele, Toronado. Not the priciest fenders. My friend had a Schecter which was about £600. I think thats it probably.

An horrible American Tele, with bound body, and sort of a redish, see-through finish, and gold hardware. It was about £1200, but that shop has silly inflated prices.

I played my neighbor's pre-WWII Martin. I think he said it was worth $32k.

surely those things are 'collectors only' pieces? would you actually be able to do anything with it?
