BlueLesPaul2006 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 If it is on clearance now even before it is available what will it be in about 3 months when no one buys it? maybe they will drop the price to super clearance and give it away for $9000.

InsideMan Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 This is clearly a "What were they thinking?" moment. They are positioning this as a collectible. Well, there are things that come to pass in this world that I don't quite understand. But how many REALLY collectible ESPs are there out there? Just because I make something in limited quantities and sell it for big bucks doesn't make it collectible. GET REAL! And, oh yeah, Cheers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guitar Chico Posted March 29, 2009 Author Share Posted March 29, 2009 I could maybe understand making it somewhere around a thousand (about the price of most high end ESP's) but 10,000 is just ridiculous. GC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rephil Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 Well, I don't know if it's worth their price, but I like the saying: "If you price something high enough, you only need to sell one." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geff Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Having reviewed the specs, I would say that that guitar should be priced around the $800 mark (because it comes with a case). If it were a Gibson, I would say maybe similar price to the Zak Wylde LP could be justified which is a rip-off but still under $5000. Look out for it in next years sales because I really dont see many people buying that one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
