Wouldn't have one, the few that I have had a chance to play weren't that impressive.
Collectors and investors created the hype and escalated the price to where guitar players can't own one. Why would I want a guitar that I couldn't play without risk in damage to it's overinflated value?

Now when the vintage guitar market tanks and those guys that mortgaged the house for them need money to buy a loaf of bread, I might consider the original 1959 price of $250.00 as being generous after all it is a used guitar.
