dubstar Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 "David Rawlings' 1935 Epiphone Olympic Archtop (A guitar that would have cost around $10 new)" I would like to correct this statement made on another forum...a bit more than $10 I would think, correct?

dubstar Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 actually, I think quite a bit more...you can almost make out the prices here, which appear to be in the three digits for the two lower guitars: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dubstar Posted August 5, 2008 Author Share Posted August 5, 2008 apparently around the "remarkably low price" of $35: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tulsaslim Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 I'm guessing that would be about $1000 in today's money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansmitchell Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 My uncle has a huge collection of historical money. When I finish my time machine, I could actually buy that in period-accurate dollars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
