Wow, he has a lot of crap.

-Mark

 

[mayfly]

wow - that is a lot of crap.  I can understand why he wants to unload it.

I'm a bit astounded that he kept some of it - like those old music man stacks - for so long in the first place!  Must have cost him a fortune in storage rates

 

[Superlizard]

I'll take the mid-60s JTM45, thankyouverymuuuuuuch.

 

[SustainerPlayer]

Seems like he's not selling his Eleven Rack though ...

Reckon he just realised he has been paying for a warehouse storage unit for years and decided to offload all the presents he has received over the years...Kills two birds with one stone, get money for Crossroads and alleviates the expense of the storage for equipment he has probably never used...I doubt a lot of the small amps etc he has used much at all. All going to a good cause tho..

Can imagine Superlizard slinking into the local guitar store, incognito,  asking about an AxeFxUltra right now...'pssst, hey buddy, yeah you....how much for the, aaah, AxeFx Ultra?'...... :icon_jokercolor:

:laughing7:  LOL

Never happen - I've been down the fake-amp road before and I ain't never going back!

"Ain't Nothing Like the Real Thing" – Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell  :icon_jokercolor:

OTOH, I do want that JTM45... a little re-tolex job and good to go.

The '66 Super Reverb looks tasty...

I think a lot of the crap just got sent to him and he has lackeys that stash it all somewhere; a Jay Tarser????

 

[Cletus]

[Strat Avenger]

UNreal prices for most of that stuff.  $52,000 for a EC signature Strat?  Nutz.  He really raked in some dough.

It's even funnier going back through and seeing what somebody actually PAID for the crap:

A circa 2008 Jay Turser JT200BK,

Sold for $15,860 inclusive of Buyer's Premium

That's a $249 LP clone

Ahhhhh yessssssss, but it was touched by Slow Hand....I need him to touch some of my guitars, so I can sell them to people with more money than brains, and make a boat load... :laughing7:

The Sovtek and the JCM 800's really surprised me. They went for close enough to street value. :dontknow:
