She sure is a work of art ; at least looking doesn't cost anything...unless you have incurable G.A.S. and an extra 100K.

she sure is a beauty! I like how its got that travis bean shape. I do think hes asking for a little much however. I could see asking a lot if it was a doug irwin guitar or something, or if Jerry had actually owned it, but 100,000 is pretty steep, even despite the wood, electronics, and all that inlay.

That is amazing - but what I want to know is, are the top 3 strings Fender & the bottom Gibson?  Vice versa?  Every other string?  These things are important!
