Rare guitar investing

In 1981, the flagship of rare electric guitars, the 1958-1960 sunburst Les Paul Standard (original list price, $265), was changing hands for the ludicrously high price of $10,000. Some dealers felt it had reached its zenith. [/quote] Dont that beat all?"

Here's a pic of the icon!"
