I was floored to see what this guitar sold for. It only had several bids. Why so valuable? http://cgi.ebay.com/JOHN-FOGERTYs-Gibson-1953-blue-ULTRATONE-lap-steel-CCR_W0QQitemZ7367671320QQcategoryZ33040QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Some people seem to be willing to pay anything as long as there's a chance of there being some celebrity's fingerprints on it...

That guitar was on ebay before and went unsold several times.

I read in an interview with Fogerty, he said that he had an old Oahu Tonemaster that he used to record with. If I understood him right, he said that he rarely played slide on a guitar in the studio, that he used the Oahu for the slide sound & would play the slide parts on guitar live.
