I appreciate the rock n roll historical value, but that much money is ridiculous.
It's not mysterious, it's assy.

Hopefully, those with the kind of money to "invest" in these items are putting other stipends of their estate to more charitable uses. Slam away....just MHO.  This guitar should have went to Janie and the Hendrix Estate. I personally think Janie would have appreciate the fact that it would be donated to "Experience Hendrix" instead of some rich yahoo wanting to restring it to play it himself. That destroys and perverts the legacy Jimi left behind. Finess, Handin' out Beatdowns one punk at a time!!! | |
