$15,000 is about $13,000 too much...

+1 That's kinda nuts. No?

[Etosser]

Meh. The gear at the bottom of the page in his sig is much more interesting.

Techno/Superstrats never moved me. Too sterile looking, IMO.

[GuitarsFromMars]

So much for sanity around celebrity owned instruments...pffft.

[Texas_Blues]

So he wrote songs and played gigs, so it makes his guitar much more valuable than anyone else's?

[pickaguitar]

I'd pay that if it were the 'Beat It' guitar...it would be worth it too

Luke needs to ditch the shoe polish hair dye :messedup

What's a 63 Strat neck go for these days? Part it out?

[Texas_Blues]

Yeah, but that neck has been drilled into and painted.

Yeah, but what about "Africa" - doesn't that count? :rolleyes:

Wow. Reality check on the pricing, but that is some cool gear.

[Texas_Blues]

This song?

Lol, epic cheesy 80'sness, I guess I'll buy that strat so I can live the 80's.

[FredW]

I have bought some KILLER stuff from that guy. I bought an amazing R8 from landau through him. A lot of guys around town use him to sell stuff on ebay. He is a very cool guy

[aarondavis]

To someone... probably so. If there's one person willing to pay it, that's *exactly* how much it's worth.

[lukeII]

I am a big Luke fan but there doesn't seem to be any major Luke memorablia there. I do like the fender XII though.

[stevieboy]

I'd say the auction means he wants money--that's not meant as a criticism. If he needed money he'd have a much lower opening bid.

[chucke99]

FYI, the Steve Lukather guitar he's selling is a one-of-a-kind prototype built for him by the folks behind the Ibanez brand. It is more similar to a set-neck Ibanez Artist than to a strat. Unfortunately, Ibanez decided against producing that guitar and instead stuck Steve's name on one of their Strat-evolved guitars. The opinion over at the Ibanez Collectors forum is that this one-of-a-kind guitar is a very desirable collectors item (if you are an Ibanez collector) but that the price the seller is asking is too high for this market. It's worth well more than the $2K to $4K suggested earlier, though, even now. If this had a $6K BIN on it, it would be gone by now.
