how would you feel if due to circumstances beyond your control, (fire, theft, etc.,) you had to play on an inferior instrument, while the one you wanted, the one which you felt was absolutely perfect for you, was sold at an exorbitant price to a wealthy investor who tucked it away in a vault?

I think it's time to move on.

agreed it's time to move on because this conversation has nothing to do with this collector..he is not storing $20K Martins in a vault.

I play used Instruments that fit in my price budget, that I set..., Telecasters, Pedal Steel ,Acoustics etc.....I don't want a $20K guitar,I gotta be honest, I would never bring it to a gig so it would sit in my music room...

But you never answered the question..

How do you get a $20K axe in the hands of one who "deserves it" but can't afford it ? Why can't they afford it ? how do we discriminate who's more deserving than another ?

Why only Guitars ?
