Johnny B. Gone

He lasted way longer than I thought he would have.



That's for sure. Controversial, but had a major impact on American
music and other musicians.



Here's a chance to own some memorabilia and get a tax break, too:

There are also two from B.B. King on that site.


You know, prople that do that ought to do their homework. That guitar new is worth about a hundrid fifty bucks.. Some radio station probably had a promo to give it away. Yeah it may have Chucks sig on it but the value is set at 2G and its already over 5000???
If someones wanting an investment, this isn't it.


I agree 100 percent Tim. I lost count of how many people came to my
shop with a "one of a kind" collectable guitar signed by an artist ...
usually only on the pick guard. If Fender, they were usually MIM
versions (made in Mexico) or even a Squire.

Had one guy who came in trying to load me up with Gibson guitars. They
were all Chinese fakes. By that time I had done my homework and I knew
how to detect the fakes. When I pointed out to him why I knew they were
fakes he finally confessed. Said he had gone to China and had bought
about 100 of them dirt cheap, thinking he could ship them back here and
make a fortune.
