Strangest auction I've seen of a Vantage guitar in years.
This
Vantage DL-205 LP copy from around 2000 I guess (
for a DL-305 & 405 are in the catalogue Frenchy posted). As to why it's price... :
THIS GUITAR WAS SIGNED BY PAUL AND RINGO AT A CHARITY EVENT DURING THE REHEARSALS OF THE MADISON SQUARE CONCERT , A BENEFIT FOR 9/11. You'll get the picture.
Well, it must have served a good purpose for sure, maybe still does and Samick might have even let them have it for free to auction it (9/11 took place in 2001), probably looked good enough too. Not sure if any other well respected members bumped into that very same auction and even while I feel a bit awkward, it may only be on for one more week so hence my pointing at it.
