Got $9,000? Then Lindsey's guitar could be yours!
 

One of the guitars he played on the 2004 tour is up for sale on eBay.

It's a lot of money but it sure is nice!

Hang on, let me just grab my checkbook....

I would cream in my jeans if someone got that guitar for me.

SYW Model 1's..
 

Rick made 3 of those sunburst M1's for Lindsey. I know at least 1 of them got sent back (possibly two of them) and Rick sent one out to Guitar Hangar to sell. This is the third one. the "7" on the back of the headstock is consistent with the markings used on the SYW tour, being the 7th Model 1 used.

Lindsey set off with 4 Turners (1979-1997 versions) and gained another one (A 2003 model in red mahogany) which was used mainly for World Turning. One of the originals met it's demise at Earl's Court on 29th November 2003 and so was replaced with a sixth standard one. So the 7th Turner, the sunburst one would make sense.. :nod:

$9000 is not a bad price for it really, it looks pretty nice for it's abused past!!

BUT I wouldn't pay that much for it, the price I paid for a standard M1 was quite enough!! :eek:
:laugh: :laugh:

Looks like its been relisted at a reduced price. Maybe if nobody bids eventually one of us can get it for free! :laugh:

Bwah!
 

I dunno.

Why pay 3x's as much for a beat up USED guitar, when for 1/3 of the price you can have Rick Turner make one SPECIFICALLY for you? :shrug:

So if 100 ledgies donate 70 bucks and we would find a cheap way to travel that Turner around we could all make some noise on it and a picture of ourselves playing it. Then we could gather all pics and mp3's of us playing it and burn a cd and make an inlay with pics and stories under the title:
Abused Turner? You ain't seen nothing yet!
How cool would that be? Great idea, Christy!

Man I'd love to have that guitar....

If I were to pay $9,000 for a used guitar, Lindsey would have to come with it :nod:

Only naked. :o

You forgot a nice big red bow ;)

Lmao!!
 

I can't play a note but I'm dying to put the amps on 11 and bash those strings until I bleed. And walk around out of rythm like a spasticus with a very serious grin on my face. Hell I even like to kick that blonde on my right hand side.

especially after i get through treating that thing like it was LB himself :D ...

..and stretched out on a big yellow lilo, in our pool , of course :cool: :laugh:

Because, this was actually owned by Lindsey! I mean, how much would you pay for the Les Paul Greeny gave to Gary Moore?

I'd pay market value, not some inflated value because of its previous owner.

Anyway, Peter didn't GIVE his Les Paul to Gary Moore, he basically SOLD it to him. ;)

:confused:

could you be a little be more specific? details? :D :D

i'd like to know what to expect if I get it after you..... ;)

:eek: :rolleyes:

not that funny? don't blame me.... but...:sorry:

Guitars!
 

Well I think you'd have to look at it from different angles. I'm a musician, so if I shelled out the cash for that guitar, I'd be tempted to play it even though Lindsey owned it. Personally I dont think it would be worth that amount unless Lindsey himself "sold" it to me.

From another view, if you were simply a collector who wasnt a musician, it would make sense to pay that amount.

Besides, I think I'd rather have a refurbished, or near mint original Rick Turner from the early 1980s. Those particular instruments are probably more "valuable" than the one played by Lindsey just because of the age and rarity. Then again, I think I WOULD pay a large amount for one of Lindsey's vintage models.
