I remember that early blackguards were selling for 30-40k last year and that was all the money ... nice tele just the same and no doubt at some point in time they will fetch 100k ... I'll just keep looking in closets and under beds for mine thanks ... 6S9L

Sweet guitar, unfortunately at this price range it will probably end up in the hands of a "collector" and placed in a bank vault with some Rembrant paintings. Halkans Rockhouse (very classy place) has a 1951 Broadcaster for sale if anyone has 150 000 SEK to spend:

Hey Super buddy - hypo here....

...."if you had the means...if you were a filthy rich millionaire (or gagillionaire) and you found one of these priceless gems....would you buy it just cause you could? Would you pay what the man wanted or would you refuse and just buy a bunch of reissues? American or Japanese..... Well would you? :)

[SuperSwede]

Tone, I would buy them ALL :D muhahaha
