Interesting!
There was the lawsuit.
Then Garys passing.

I wonder if Montrose will want to buy it back?

Maybe it is priced so it never sells.....right now, in this market and looking like that, it will never sell.

Re: J.Geils Band 59er Burst for $!!!!!
I'm sure the guitar sounds great (as it said in the description, refretted few times, pretty worn condition), HOWEVER - 250k$? Really? 70k top, it's condition is pretty bad, EVEN if it's a good guitar.

They are playing on the "Celebrity owned" angle. We'll see how that plays out.

"Celebrity owned" works for Jimmy Page, Gary Moore or Billy Gibbons, but J Geils? And 250$k? As I said, 70k top, maybe even less, but if we will ignore the price, that guitar is a goddamn player!

Re: J.Geils Band 59er Burst for $!!!!!
Nice-looking '59, but I fail to see any reason to tie in the Ronnie Montrose/Gary Moore "Stripe" '59 Standard controversy.....comes off as name-dropping nonsense.


Someone will pay that price...unless I hit the lotto, however, it won't be me.

It is a rather poor repair but it adds a Shitload of Mojo (I actually think it's kinda cool in a 1970s kinda way)
not to mention even if it is J Geils it still has historic value

Blame it on the guys that are COMPLETELY DETACHED from reality by pricing it so naively.
