I fear that there are more mistakes in that article. very likely that its a complete load of BS :-\

Looks like the info was jepped from this site, dated a few days earlier.. http://www.worldinterestingfacts.com/art/top-10-most-expensive-guitars-in-the-world.html

Nice article. I had no idea that Stevie Ray Vaughn was in a gay marriage. That must have been very difficult back in the '70s/'80s:

received from his wife, Lenny, in 1980 as a 26th birthday present, and named it after him.

And yes. It's amazing how that old film footage fades huh. You look at that woodstock footage, and you'd totally think that sunburst strat was white. But, I mean, you'd be convinced.

Also these are only the most expensive guitars that have ever been sold. Most expensive guitar ever will be:

Jimmy Page's no.1 Les Paul Standard. I shudder to even think what this sucker will sell for when the old boy's shuffled off. Britain should buy it and but in the f'ing British museum next to the gates of Babylon, IMO.

Did you guys hear that they took gullible out of the dictionary? ? WHHAHAHAAA!

Strange to see how much people like making up crap, 95% of the stuff on those sites are Photo Shopped and/or unfactual!

On the relistic side... Billy Gibbons "Pearly Gater" Les Paul >>> $15,294.00
Michael Bloomfield 1959 Les Paul >>>>> $14,115.00
Jimy Page "Number Two" Les Paul >>>> $11,176.00

These prices are the MSRP prices as per Gibson...just imagine what us poor ZAR's are going to pay!!!

Eerm... some of those are the actual prices those guitars sold for. In fact, I'm pretty confident that more than 5% of that information is factual.

"Blackie": $959,500 - wikipedia
EC's ES335: $847 000 - vintage-guitars.blogspot (source for Gibson years, models and prices)
The celebrity crossroads guitar - $2.6 million - wikipedia
JH's Woodstock Strat: "Sold at a Sotheby's auction in 1990 for around $300,000 and resold in 1993 for over 1.3 million dollars." - stratcollector.com
SRV's Lenny: ""Lenny" was purchased by Guitar Center in the 2004 Crossroads guitar auction benifitting Eric Clapton's Crossroads Center in Antigua for $623,500" - stevieray.com
... etc..

So most of it's factual. What's amusing is how clueless the writer of the article is about these guitars - using the wrong pictures etc..

On the relistic side... Billy Gibbons "Pearly Gater" Les Paul >>> $15,294.00
Michael Bloomfield 1959 Les Paul >>>>> $14,115.00
Jimy Page "Number Two" Les Paul >>>> $11,176.00

Those are merely production guitars. There are lots of guitars out there that sell for a lot more.

I was referring to the site where that aricle was from in whole...the guitar one was most prob most relistic...the prices might be correct, but then they mess up the pictures, only GFSA peolpe would notice that though... ?

The worst thing about the guitars that I listed; is that they are just production...I wonder how much they would ask for SRV's Number One Strat~! I NEEED IT!
