Highest priced G&L ever?

[HLG]

Today there was a 1984 SC3 posted on the bay for $14,999. Where it went, I don't know. Can't seem to locate it. (if anyone saved it please help me out here) It appeared to have a legitimate Stevie Ray Vaughn autograph on the back dated "87. From the authentication papers it looks like the real deal. No doubt I am a huge Stevie Ray fan but DAMN $14,999? Got me to thinking about the highest priced G&Ls ever sold that I am personally aware of. The top seven.
$29,000
$27,000
$10,000
$10,000
$8,500
$7,000
$7,000
Must be nice to have that kind of disposable jack!
(none of these had a celebrity name attached)

Sometimes there is a delay before items show in the completed listings, check back later for it

There was a G&L up on ebay for 82,500....for a couple hours,
pretty sure that was a matter of a sticky zero key.

I paid north of 4 for one (and a half, there are two necks for her).

It is in the entertainment memorabilia section.

As of right now there are still 21 hours left:

Thanks Salmon...well done.

That's interesting. The seller is an autograph dealer, and that's where any value is. Seeing as the guitar has been routed (look at the pickups), I'd say it's worth about $600 in it's own right. I think the fact that he has it "marked down" from $22,387.99 says something about how realistic he is...or how knowledgeable he is about guitars...

+1. I'd love to know at least what those G&Ls were, if not the stories behind them!

I think it's going to be a tough sell.

The autograph is in a poor spot where it will get rubbed off if played, or the guitar will have to be hung on a wall backwards to be displayed.

If it was personally owned by SRV, that might be different.

We'll see what she goes for.

I'm with Will, it is a tough sell- need to find a G&L aficionado that also is SRV fan. The guitar itself has been modified and doesn't have a ton of eyeball. Even if SRV owned it, he wasn't widely known for playing G&L, so it would still be a tough sell.

The highest price I ever paid for a guitar was when I tried to sneak one past the boss. Painful.

Yeah, that would be a tough sell, IMO. I'll pass...

My guess is that the high-dollar ones HLG mentioned were signed Broadcasters, or perhaps Interceptors, or Commemoratives; perhaps a G-200? A prototype?

Interesting.
