The Chetboard

Anybody got a quarter mil laying around? Hell, I betcha if you were polite they'd let it go for much less! What is that old expression, some people have more money than brains?

10% back on his money so far . . .

Just curious . . .

FORGET about the instrument's background; would anyone here pay $10,000.00 for it in it's present condition if you were bankrolled to do so?

I understand that someone with the initials MR is seriously interested in this guitar.

@ $248M, HE can AFFORD IT ! ! !

Well, he could probably get it at 'dealer's cost' ,since Bain Capital "rescued" and owns 'Guitar Center', and then acquired ‘Musician‘s Friend’ shortly thereafter! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guitar_Center

Yeah, it’s amazing what a little $57,000 per day income will do for you!

I think a more charitable thing for him to do, (before buying a little $250,000 guitar however), would be to help ‘NG’ pay of his wife’s $300,000 Tiffany’s jewelry bill first!

Like ‘Larry the cable guy’ says… “Only In America”!

Since the auction states that it is Mary Fords guitar, I wrote PS and asked that since the auction would be in the 6 figure range, if they could email me a copy of the certification that this belonged to Mary Ford or provide their experts name that certified the guitar as belonging to Mrs Ford, so that I could speak to him concerning the authenticity of their claims. They replied..."watch the episode" and gave me a link to the history channel.

Heritage, Christies, Gruhn...they all qualify and certify their special guitars...guitars that command a fraction of what this guitar is at right now. Like this one: http://www.gruhn.com/features/penguinfogel/eg2981.html
