DeVeeWee Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 I haven't until recently! I'm interested to see if any compadre has ever held one like this, even played one???

EVOL! Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 That thing is a piece of art for playing refined music. Too rich for my blood and way too nice to let my grubby hands touch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shnate McDuanus Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 That thing is a piece of art for playing refined music. Too rich for my blood and way too nice to let my grubby hands touch. Same here. I'm by far more suited to one of these: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rogerb Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Same here. I'm by far more suited to one of these: Must be instruments used by the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain before they became you tube famous! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cjlandry Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 $8K is a pretty penny for a guitarist, but not so much for a real musician. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golem Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 $8K is a pretty penny for a guitarist, but not so much for a real musician. Hhmmmnnn ..... Spoken like a bass player ! ! ! BTW, I expect $8K is reeeeellly low. Solidly into 5-figger money would be my estimate, considering a friend's jazz box which ran about $20K. And he's a career player, around 40 yrs old, not some stock broker treating himself to a pricey trinket. ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we're here with Gibson, here's a somewhat similar 1 pup Gibson box - the Citation - MSRP $33K Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeVeeWee Posted October 1, 2010 Author Share Posted October 1, 2010 You're probably right.

Golem Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 IMHO, that price is slightly overrated +1. Cuz that would be about $25K street .... and for a Gibson ? Even if it's from their Ultra-Custom Shop in the Andromeda Galaxy, you don't spend on a Gibby [or other mass name] the same dollars that would buy you a real D'Aquisto, or a similar box, from builders who actually build for the player, rather than the 'customer' or 'owner'. ` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 I've been bidding on some guitars of that style on ebay. Not won one yet. But I will. I really like some of them. I'm bidding on this Ibanez AF 125 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LarryUK Posted October 1, 2010 Share Posted October 1, 2010 Whilst the subject is active. I've been away from playing for a long time and I've not heard of many of the current makes. Which 'Jazz' guitars do you recommend? I like the style shown in this thread. My budget is around £400. second hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
