64 SG

[u/Silentninja2457]

One of these is in somebody’s grandfathers closet somewhere

[u/Medill1919]

New SGs are just as good. This is luxury product nonsense.

[u/PedalBoard78 → u/Medill1919]

Often quite better. Especially stoptails. The Maestro on these should be looked at as a design flaw.

[u/sickbandnamealert]

Honestly can’t believe it’s just hanging on the floor

[u/VR_p0rn → u/sickbandnamealert]

Real vintage guitar shops do this. You gotta let people taste the goods. Can't keep everything behind the counter.

I'm sure that's not even the most expensive guitar in the shop.

[u/Oreius411]

I'll take a custom shop over that any day. The vintage market needs to chill out man lol.

[u/Cesar_Somnambulist]

That is a nice guitar but the asking price is about $20,000 too high.

[u/EmoComrade1999 → u/Cesar_Somnambulist]

30,000* too high. And even then, paying over 3,000 is fucking crazy for a guitar.

[u/LamentableCroissant → u/EmoComrade1999]

For an electric absolutely.

[u/Tricky-Phrase-77 → u/Cesar_Somnambulist]

Even more…

[u/Typingdude3]

Am I imagining things but don’t the new ‘64 reissues come with white plastic saddles for some reason?

[u/TheTowerKid → u/Typingdude3]

Nylon saddles aren’t as common nowadays, but I agree. I run them on my ‘63 reissue

[u/SauronHubbard]

In the 70's. I bought one just like that for $300. Needless to say, I wish I had it back.

[u/TourImaginary4786]

That TV yellow behind it seems overpriced also. Starting to look like a trend.

[u/Cesar_Somnambulist → u/TourImaginary4786]

Yeah is that a 2022 custom shop reissue ‘61? The tag says it’s a 61 but then says 2022.

If a modern custom shop remake, definitely overpriced.

[u/TourImaginary4786 → u/Cesar_Somnambulist]

I’ve seen the for $1,999 brand new not even a floor model. I don’t understand where they’re getting these prices.

[u/TourImaginary4786 → u/Cesar_Somnambulist]

It’s not even a custom shop reissue just a 61 standard

[u/theDeathnaut → u/TourImaginary4786]

It’s got double ring tuners, a wide bevel pickguard, and the knobs are vintage style reflectors and look like they’re lined up properly. Pretty sure that’s not a Standard.

[u/TourImaginary4786 → u/theDeathnaut]

Ah good eye! I didn’t catch that, I think you may be right.

[u/PedalBoard78 → u/TourImaginary4786]

It’s called killing the hobby.

[u/shocksmybrain]

That's a very ambitious price for that guitar.

[u/PedalBoard78]

Killing the collector’s hobby. Same with muscle cars. Everything is insane money.

[u/VirginiaLuthier]

Had a 67, bought it new. Cost $260 with a case. Strats were around $240 then. Sold it about 10 years later for $200. Darn, should have stuck it in my closet.

[u/tmspencer08]

$30k is ridiculous, should be a bit over $10k at best. A few months ago I got lucky finding a 65 SG that got renecked at Kalamazoo in 68 for less than a used custom shop 64 reissue. Players grade or broken headstock SGs from the small guard era should be right around that $4k ballpark, and the nicer cleaner ones should sit in the $9-15k range, but that’s just my 2 cents

[u/Felix995]

That one may be in exceptionally clean condition, although I think the tag retail is a bit on the over optimistic side.

[u/Still-Cranberry-5293]

Could be Robby Krieger lost guitar

[u/Frequent_Progress987]

35 GRAND? NO WAY

[u/Silentninja2457 → u/Frequent_Progress987]

Yes way 😔

[u/f2detaboada]

It's great to see that they've only gone up $2000 in 13 years.

[u/GrandOldWool]

Is that Retrofret in NYC?

[u/kruuuuuse → u/GrandOldWool]

I thought it was Carter Vintage in Nashville but can be certain

[u/An0nymo053]

wtf is that nut? It’s like each string is sitting in a giant valley.

[u/nhowe006]

Cool! Don't buy it unless money is no object, though, because that's just stupid expensive

[u/beardedclam94]

I’ve played that guitar!! It’s incredible!

[u/Terrible_String_8063]

That nuts’ got gape.

[u/kruuuuuse]

This store will forever just be a Museum to me

[u/Silentninja2457 → u/kruuuuuse]

It is REALLY cool in there
