Martin $130,000

[Larz]

Has anyone seen the Martin guitars in the Holiday Guitar Center circular? Now granted the artist may be famous and adds a ton of value, I don't know, but the rocket ship inlay looks hideous in my opinion, like the cockdragon part II and for a mere $130,000. Crazy.

That is an outrageous price for any guitar. (Unless it is made of gold, ruples and was used to land a man on mars

Holly Shit, thats way to much for a house.

I agree that the History of Flight" is horrid.. the 100 th anniversary is much better looking, for a list price of $100,000.00
But you know someone will let it go for $25K in 3 years after no interest
is shown, and they cant sell it!

why must you rub it in

[Roidster]

why must you rub it in

then you wont want to know how i aquired this then
my father in law is a resident manager in a highrise tower
someone had thrown this out down the garbage chute
im not sure how many floors it fell into the garbage bin
there is no serious damage at all to the guitar,but its old and worn
he had pulled it out,and gave it to my wife,who ever threw it out
had no idea what it was or what its worth,also there was a violin
tossed out as well,but he never grabbed it,who knows what that may of been

its my retirement fund
