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).

@GB

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.

"Jerry Garcia's 'Tiger' guitar sold for $957,500 to an anonymous bidder at Guernsey's auction in New York, USA, on May 9 2002." - Guinness Book of World Records.


Note: I'll scan the book image for proof (if needed).

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 think just because it looks slightly spikey, is the only reason.

I think BC Rich's are ugly.
I am mainly just referring to the cutaways (as I previously stated) and the bottom sorta.

There are some nice BC Rich's... not all of them are mad designs with spikes everywhere - that's just what they've become known for most.

The 'Tiger' Guitar was manufactured by Doug Irwin.

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

Rich Bich is a weird but cool guitar. I heard that high end B.C. rich guitars have good tone.

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.

I don't need a new guitar for a while. I still love my Godin aha.
I just need gear because my RP70 can go suck a big one.

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.

Well, occasionally I've been checking out this site, but now I just had to show these pictures :)

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...
