								What's the most expensive guitar you've ever seen in person, 
 
I used to own a $20,000 1964 Fender Stratocaster, then it got stolen, That Bastard.  |

								Sorry to hear that it got stolen. That would suck hard. 
Skold is that yours? Looks like a BC Rich. 
The most expensive I have seen was like, $3,544 Gibson Explorer. 
Was a nice guitar to. I mighta seen better but I can't remember  |

								I saw one of the earliest Lawsuit Explorers. It was priced to like 22000. 
 
Then again, I did see one of those Van Halen Replicas, and those were apparently 25000...  |

								The guitar I posted is the most expensive guitar in the world (according to The Guiness Book of World Records: 2004).

No, not really. If anything, it looks like an Alembic.  |

								I saw A Rodriguez Spanish Guitar worth about 9,000 Euros. It had like gold inlays and silver tuning pegs. This was in a Madrid novelty store. I always see those Gibson Les Pauls that are between $3,000-$6,000  |

								I find it looks like a BC Rich Dagger, or possibly a Virgin. But it looks more like a Dagger, IMO. 
 
I think it's the cutaways making me think this. 
EDIT: How much is or was that guitar?  |

								I don't think it looks like a BC Rich. As for the question though... I don't know. I'll have to have a think about that one.  |

								I can see how it looks like a B.C. Rich. Most B.C. Rich guitars dont look like any other guitars. There are some pretty expensive guitars on E-bay.  |

I am mainly just referring to the cutaways (as I previously stated) and the bottom sorta.  |

The models in this lineup are actually really nice. 
Because they look like Ibanez's

								Yeah the Bich's are weird, In a way I like them, as fucked up looking as they are, they are cool. 
 
Those are the guitars from BC Rich that if I played, and it sounded nice, I actually might buy, Doz. I used to own a Warlock bronze but it sucked. Costed like 524 dollars too but I sold it for full value.  |

								only reason i would have 2 guitars is to have one in drop B (which is what i ussually use) and one in standard.. or if i find one really cheap, then it can increase in value and sell it in 20 years  |

								Now, I don't think I'll ever *need* a new guitar, but I *want* other guitars for different tones. I play a lot of genres pretty evenly so I'll probably wind up having to buy gear for a long time.  |

								Hmm, I doubt that they would be too much better than a guitar around $2000 dollars, but the reason they are so expensive is because they're rare. There's probably only a few in the world, so they're more like a collector's item.  |

Why it's so expensive; it a Martin, and the inlay is done by hand with mother of pearl in ebony, some of the parts are gold plated...  |
