Oh fercryinoutloud. But if you really want to spend some heavy cash try to find a pre WW II Martin D-45 or D-28 acoustic guitar. Its all in what your priorities are.

Hello Stringbreaker & Spinz,
Nice guitars but I'm partial to the
Gibson L-5 or Super 400.
Cheers.

Great guitars for sure but I do mostly acoustic. I do have a late 50's Kay semi hollow body single cutaway thats in near pristine condition, alas its still a Kay but its pretty funky

Cool. While on the subject, I have a double cutaway ~1970 Ibanez 2370. Basically a copy of a Gibson 335, but IMO, a better guitar. The Super 70s pickups rule.

Sometimes I wonder if the drug cartels are using ebay to launder money...
"For sale, 1978 Sears Free Spirit with a BIN of $250,000"

HAving watched Jay Leno do what sold on ebay, I am convinced that there is money laundering going on

Check out the Kay. Single coil. This one is late 50's of early 60's. Really funky tone. Good county blues box.
