sparquelito Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 That sure is one blingy, gold-plated guitar. Not my flavor, but then again, who am I to question Tom Petty? Or Batman even?🙁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidblast Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 There's a thread in the acoustic forum on this one. that pickguard is an abomination 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 For 10k I'd want my own guitar, not somebody else's knock off. Yes, a pickguard like that suggests a Pete Townsend style of strumming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The guitar itself is very nice, but I'd get someone to remove the guard straight away and put a regular J200 one on if I was to buy it. Anyway, Tom was more known to play a Dove I thought? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitefang Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The price would be OK if it was actually the one Tom owned and played. But for a knock-off featuring a machine stamped signature? HOLY SCAM Batman! The JOKER must be behind this 'cause they GOTTA be joking! Whitefang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 (edited) The owner of the Indianapolis Colts bought them all. I can't get on board for cash grabs no matter if Martin or Gibson or any other maker does it, but I get it every 10k helps them get out of debt sooner. Edited March 24, 2021 by Sgt.

Twang Gang Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 The pick-guard doesn't bother me that much and I guess it was on the original that they built for Tom Petty, but I don't understand whenever they put somebody's name on a guitar as a signature model that the price goes to $10K. A normal SJ-200 is less than half that. But let's try to remember this fact for about 20 years: "Only 100 will be made". People are always asking how many of a particular model were made and nobody (including Gibson) ever knows so we know how many of these there will be - we just need to remember it down the road when someone asks.

I'll tell you what, I will paint the CEO's living room for the price of that guitar! A trade! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 It’s an SJ200 with a different Pickguard with Pettys’ name on it... I’m a big Petty fan but I’d rather have a regular SJ200 for about half the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
