Well I know some of those old 1952 Tele's are fetching north of $30K these days but $100K for this guitar is a joke, imo.

If it was actually Keith's guitar that he played it might fetch those kind of dollars but considering it isn't totally original (some parts replaced) and doesn't have the original finish (albiet a cool one) I'm guessing this axe should top out at about $20K...and that's being generous.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. For that price he should *at least* throw in that Twin amp.

Well, I guess it's a Keith Tele, since his mug is painted on the guitar. But this ain't no guitar worth a cool 100k. It might be worth a couple of thousand dollars for the Keith paint job, but it ain't nothing special as a guitar.

Lol.

I'd say, one dollar for the paint job, $20k max for the 1952 Tadeo Gomez checked Tele.
Any '52 vintage Tele is something special, not 100k special though.

Also, Memorabilia dealers should check their blurb:
( Keith's main guitar is his early '50's Tele which he calls 'Macawber' )

no, he doesn't call it that.

"highly accurate likeness of Keith"
I almost barfed here... tongue sticking out smiley

So someone defaced a 52 Tele to fool you into thinking you'll own a piece of the Stones legend? The a-hole who plotted this should be arrested.

Is Macawber a relative of Micawber???? LOL

Maybe buy it in euro's then it's 'only' 93.000,-

No way this guitar is worth that much.It's not even original anymore
