    Have a look at this, just spit out anything you're chewing at the moment to avoid asphyxiation.

    Wow.

    That's some collector's piece. Just let me know when Chuck's Stealth is on sale.

    Amazing, like they say - it's a piece of history.

    Although i doubt it will sell, tbh. If you recall, Dweezil Zappa couldn't find a bidder for Frank's restored Strat (which Jimi owned), and he wouldn't let it go for half a million sterling (not sure if i'm remembering correctly here), he thought it wasn't enough.

    Edit:
    Just let me know when Chuck's Stealth is on sale.
    - just saw this now - yeah, we'll all pinch in for that one :p

    Could you imagine anyone buying a guitar like that just to play it?

    I think i'd rather see it played than see it bought by some rich asshole who knows nothing about music, who's gonna keep it rotting away in a vault, tbh.

    Although, on the other hand, no one would ever dare play it, so i dunno....

    As for the Stealth - you're right, we'd be raiding each others houses!

    It'd be better if I just bought it and said feck to everyone else.

    Ahhh you'd have to play it... hope some of the mojo would rub off. Jimi's guitars were for playing (and sometimes smashing and burning but we won't go there ;) )... as were Chucks. You keep their memory alive by keeping their instruments alive.

    Well the auction's ended but this is the perfect amp to go with that guitar :
