But it's MY BABY! I love this guitar, and I've never owned one that is such a link to my soul (except maybe my '65 Strat that was STOLEN!). So it remains in my studio, and is going to be part of my retirement fund someday. BUT, I'm going to have to WAY up my insurance on this sweetheart of a guitar! It's one of a kind, and if you find one that "speaks" to you, KEEP IT, no matter what the appraised value! They ARE priceless to a musician.Ern

Ern,Thanks. Those number were kinda where I expected 'em to be. But cash invested? Actually the most recent acquisition was the solid body L5... I bought it new 35 years ago. So it's all appreciation!

Any of you guys ever been to Gruhn Guitars? Amazing vintage guitar store in downtown Nashville, TN. I saw a guitar hanging in there once worth over $250,000!Incredible.
