custom guitars, are not collection level.
There is a post on TGP about a guy who used to be rich and then went
bankrupt. His guitars collection are for auction to pay back his debt. The
whole list is put online. Among them, one of the guitar is specially made by
gibson for him with Led Zepplin III CD art on the top. After the guitar is
made, they went to see Jimi Page to show him the guitar. Jimi really like it
and even posed for a picture with the guitar (probably signed too, forgot

发帖数: 379 | 11 I can imagine its quite a challenge for the hardware to hold up hundreds of
strings in a piano. I think a rough rule is the smaller an instrument is,
the fewer strings it has and the lower tension strings produce, the longer
and easier it preserves.
That's why we see more historical violins than guitars. For the same reasons
, electric guitars stay longer than an acoustic one.
100% agree instruments need to be played and maintained. Otherwise it ages
faster. After all, collectors obviously buy them for non-playing purposes.

发帖数: 786 | 14 Found the link to the story
http://hamptonroads.com/2008/06/chesapeake-man-tells-tales-his-
Part of the story, from the links
A few days later, Greg was on U.S. 58, on his way to I-85 and taking his Dad
and step mom on a trip to Nashville. His cell phone rang. Greg imitates the
accent on the other end:
"Yeah, Greg, Ross here, look, uh, I'm cawling from London.... Anyhow, Jimmy
would like to see the guitah. Any chance you could be in New York on Tuesday
morning?"
OH-Ho-Ho! Greg said in his head.
"Um, yeah, I'm sure we can work something out, Ross," Greg said into the
phone.
Halfin said he had a couple of questions. First, is the guitar he saw the
only one made?
"Oh, most definitely, guarantee it, only one in the world, I had 'em make it
on my behalf."
If you don't mind me asking, Halfin said, how much did you pay for the
guitah?
"You know," Greg said, "about eleven grand."
Greg got to his hotel in New York the next week, and was about to call up to
Halfin's room when he walked by. Come to find out, the whole band was in
town, Page, John Paul Jones, Robert Plant for the premiere of their DVD, "
How the West Was Won."
And Greg got invited to the premiere. But Halfin also gave him a warning:
"Look now, I'm not trying to burst your bubble or anything," Halfin told him
, "but Jimmy's not going to sign your guitah, he won't be doing any pictures
."
Greg decided right then to be a rock and not to roll.
"Ross, that's fine, man, I truly appreciate the opportunity if you help me
meet my idol, man," Greg told him.
Greg remembers being a teenager listening to Zeppelin in his top bunk on his
transistor radio, and when that third album came out he must've written 10
letters to the Atlantic Records address in New York.
Then Halfin told Greg he was on the VIP list for the premiere, where Greg
got to sit down front. During the part about John Bonham, the band's
deceased drummer, tears came to Greg's eyes.
When the showing was over, Greg's cell phone rang: "Greg, Ross here, look
man, there's going to be a VIP party after the premiere here. You're on the
list. You got something to write with?"
So Greg and his son went to the private party, and met John Paul Jones and
Page. Greg could barely speak when Page told him he looked forward to seeing
Greg's guitar, tomorrow in his hotel room.
The next day, Halfin escorted Greg and his son over to the Plaza Hotel, and
Greg remembers how tall those ceilings were, and the elevator gate that you
pull across, and the bodyguard who opened Page's room door.
Once again, the guard said, Jimmy's not doing pictures, and he's not signing
anything. Greg vowed to be the easiest guy he ever dealt with. While they
waited for Page, Greg pulled out his Led Zeppelin photography book, which
happened to be compiled by Halfin, and got Halfin to sign it.
Then Page came out, dressed in all black, and shook Scott's hand and then
Greg's. And got right down to business.
"So this is the guitah, eh?" Greg says, doing Page's voice and accent.
Greg was going to reach down and get it out for Page, but Halfin stopped him
So Greg watched his guitar idol's face as he lifted out the guitar. Here,
Greg mimics Page's look, tilting his head down, nodding, and raising his
eyebrows.
"He looked over at Ross, you know, and he walked over to the bed, man, and
said, 'Whoa, boy Greg, whoa, I've never seen keys like these before, what
kind of keys are these?' "
Greg told him they were imperials, actually made of pearl.
Tell me about the guitar, Page said.
"Well Jimmy," Greg said, "bottom line for me, man, you guys are the greatest
rock and roll band ever, man, and I wanted to build something in tribute to
you."
Greg started getting a little choked up. Page stood the guitar on the
headboard of his bed and looked at Halfin.
"Ross, I need a picture with the guitah, eh?" Greg remembers him saying.
Page then took the guitar, strummed it and said, "Oh, nice tone, nice tone."
He looked up at Greg.
"Greg, let's do a picture, eh?"
HO! HO! OK.
So Greg handed his camera to Halfin, who took the shot. Jimmy Page, Greg's
Zeppelin guitar, and Greg.
They talked a little bit more, then just before leaving Halfin turned to
Page.
"Hey, Jimmy, sign Greg's book here."
At this point in the story, Greg's out of "man"s and he wordlessly shrugs a
look of disbelief.
Page signed his book: "To Greg, Rock On, Jimmy Page."
And Greg has a big, blown-up print of the photo that was taken that day in
New York. He pulls it out and holds it up.
"That's The Man right there," he says, pointing at Page, "and you see me, I
came prepared."
And there's Greg, wearing a Led Zeppelin T-shirt, ready to rock on. | A******1

Those collections are auctioned off due to Court Orders. If it's normal
auction then it will be different.
Collection guitars are either very rare or are linked to part of music
history. | f****g

发帖数: 786 | 23 You are very wrong about this man.
First, I don't think he is rich. All these probably cost less than 200K. A
lot money, but really, many people can afford that.
"Never giged" means they are not play on stages which generally caused all
those damages to the guitar body. He must have played these guitars and take
very
good care of them.
He really loved these guitars and see them as a collection. He can make more
money selling them one by one. But that's not he cared. He wants someone to
take over the "responsibility" and continue to take care of these guitars.
So it's not an issue about how much profit he can make from the sale.

发帖数: 2074 | 25 我知道gig是登台的意思，但是他说买了就put away了，我只能理解成他不弹。
他想一起卖，我理解成他想省事儿，这个我承认，我有点诛心了。他这些琴并不是成套
的，并不必要stay together。如果散卖，不光是他卖出的可能性更大，而且琴们也能
得到各自新主人的更多宠爱。如果新主人也是成批买了，跟旧主人一样爱护，但每个琴
得到的attention也还是有限，也仍然是深宫寂寞。也许我看待乐器太拟人了，但我真
的觉得如果自己是一把琴，我更愿意经常被弹，定期维护，而不是哪怕非常非常妥善的
安置。
