So I guess you can ask him.

I learned a long time ago in the vintage car business you can't guess at what people are willing to pay all it takes is that one guy with an itch and enough scratch. Sanity has little to do with the equation.

I am not gonna comment on the price...but his guitar does have an amazing top compared to others in the same run.

 

[Fiftywattmafia]

Its in the member classified section right now.

One sold on Mark's not so long ago for a "somewhat comparable" amount...few thousand less though.

Those guitars are absolutely wonderful.

...yup all it takes is one person that REALLY wants it...and it wouldn't hurt to make an offer closer to what your number is?

Thats right, thats what moves the market price for Les Pauls....

The Allman run was super cool, and the guitars are very rare. You can't just walk into Guitar Center and buy one. If you want a nice one, you're gonna pay. They are actually terrific playing/sounding guitars as well as being super cool. Nice fingerboards, too.

the color is among my favorite - was not a big fan of what they did with the frets though

On the back? That was done after Duane's death. You don't notice them while playing.

 

[Marshallow]

Normal price for those. I've seen better flames and fretboard on this run but it's still cool.

True, but if Gibson starts making Artist guitars and changing things to appease the masses, they are doing the guitar they are trying to get as close to copying a disservice. They may as well put Klusons on the Jeff Beck LP as well as close the pickguard gap as it doesn't look real clean.

Nice piece!!!!

The colour is wrong compared to what it looked like when Duane bought it. It was more of a dark burgundy than red.
Twiggs Lyndon took the original frets that were in it, after he'd had it refretted for Steve Morse, and hammered them into the back. Twiggs had been The Bros. Tour Manager and one of Duane's closest friends. Because Duane had played on those frets, he wanted them to stay with the guitar.
It's interesting that a guitar he only used and owned for 4 months has garnered so much relativity over the years. The Goldtop was used on the first two ABB LP's & Layla and the cherryburst he bought in Sept. `70 was used on the back half of the song Layla and used to record "Live At The Fillmore East" are not held in as high a regard as the Darkburst. He used the GT for a couple of years and the Cherryburst for 9 months.

Cool info on the background.

How many pop up for sale, not many. It is worth what the market allows
and the desire of the individual to acquire one.

I must admit, it is very nice and rare.

Hi All
Two Interesting debate going on.
No, I am not insane,...my parents had me tested more than once, ok?!

Price wise, I see both arguements, but based on the fact we have seen these go for more and just below this asking price, there is the appreciation value of certain guitars...like this one, and this incredible case which is a masterpiece in it's own right, and not cheap. All one would have to do is have the personal name tag changed.
In any case I appreciate that fact you all love the top (it is a beauty) and know what a great run of guitars it was.
