Gibson have released a custom shop Angus Young model limited to 250 models - 200 VOS and 50 aged and signed.

I'm a fan of ACDC and I think this guitar looks great, the SD Pearly Gates sound great but typically of Gibson it costs USD $6K for the VOS and USD $9k for the signed version.

There's one available on Ebay from Aus and the seller wants AUD $15k for it as it's #3 out of 50

I would love to own one but the prices are out of this world even if there are only 200 of them VOS and 50 signed.

They also released a new USA Gibson Angus Young sig model and that's lower spec again but still USD $3600

Who buys these things?

If I bought one I wouldn't play it as it's worth more than me so what's the point? It's better off left under the bed for 10-15 years and sold on and there's no enjoyment in that.
 
You know, I really liked the former Angus sigs. They looked like the best SG's gibson sold. Now they're gimmicky.
 
I would have liked to have seen this as Angus' sig. This one is what he's most famous for. Kinda like Eddies candy stripe... :dontknow:

Yet another signature model the artist doesn't play.

Angus is so identified with the SG, especially the Transparent Cherry ones, why does he need a signature model?  While McCartney may make some think Rickenbacker bass, a Hofner bass definely conjures McCartney.  The same with Angus and the SG, IMO.
