Buy a guitar signed by the Eagles!

[sodascouts]

I wonder how long it will be before someone buys one and then posts it for resale on Ebay?

And before some sucker buys it?

[Glennsallnighter]

It only gives details on the website for shipping to all US states so I don't know if they'll ship to Ireland.

Here's what they look like anyway:



And heres what we all wanted to see......The sigs



Imagine taking that out of its case at a sing song?

Worth $2500?

Definitely

I don't know. Are they hand signed or "auto" signed? Bet they're not hand signed.

[Glennsallnighter]

How could we find out?

I wondered that too, but it says "hand-signed" on the description.

Thanks for the closeup of the signatures. That is such an awesome thing, good luck on getting it if you decide to GA. And DF, I'd bet you're right, if someone does buy it who's not a hard core fan like those of us here, they'll put it on eBay....and then just imagine what it would go for!
Love the AV Soda.

With exchange rates as they are at the moment, it's not completely outrageous. If I could actually play, I'd think about it.

Learning to play isn't completely outrageous either GEF! Once you have 3 major chords in one key (such as G or D) and the corresponding minor chord, there's a lot you can play. I taught myself in 2 hours when I was 14. Still the same guitar as I have now.

I think its time for a new one...

I'm tempted too but I planned to buy a new electric guitar... maybe another time
You're right GA, with exchange rates in euro it's a pretty good deal

Claire, it's great for you and GA that the exchange rates in Euro are good. Unfortunately, it is around 8 South African Rand to the US Dollar right now (and has been for a long time), so $2,500.00 translates into R20,000.00. Ouch! If I could afford it, I'd buy one, as I love the sound of the Takamine guitars - especially the 12-string guitars that Glenn plays. It would have been more tempting if it were a Fender Telecaster, which is the electric guitar that I'd like to buy for myself - I already have an acoustic. By the way, Claire - are you a musician? Are you involved in a band?

Wow, GA - I was 13 when I first started playing! My mom showed me C, F and G7, and I immediately started playing "Silent Night"! I still have my first guitar (a gift from my parents), but I don't play it anymore. I bought my second one in 1999, and it's been my ol' faithful ever since. I noticed recently when I was watching F1 that Joe had a guitar strap with the Stars and Stripes on it. I felt so chuffed since that's the same design I have on my guitar strap!

Oh, and thanks, GA, for posting those pictures of the signed guitars. Gosh, I wish they could sign MY guitar...

[Glennsallnighter]

MF I don't believe it! SILENT NIGHT was the first song I played on my guitar also!! Amazing! I still have the same guitar.

Girls I've decided! Hubby or no hubby I'm going to order a guitar. The only thing that will prevent me is logistics, ie will they be prepared to ship to Ireland. I can't see myself being able to escape paying duty either but as a lot of the cost goes to charity the actual value of a takamine may be less so hope fully thats all I'd have to pay for. Wish me luck!

To have that guitar by Christmas would be perfect!
