Actually it's not $130,000.00 but $129,999.99 !

Come on now, $130,000.00 would be ridiculous, man.

You know, a few years ago on another board we had a thread with a list of guitars that the Beach Boys played/owned. Nobody knew about this one, I guess. So it's just been added to the list.

Do you think there's enough pictures of the guitar?  Good pictures of the band.  Wonder what song they're playing.

Be right back, winning the lottery.


I had already seen that picture many times but I had never paid attention to the kind of guitar Carl was playing. It reminds me of the Ampeg Dan Armstrong plexi guitar, which I love, only cooler.

wow! I always wondered about that guitar.

I would pay a dime over $120,000.

Whoever buys this would be wise to invest in a back brace as well.

Last year it was sold for 20.000: http://www.ebay.ca:80/itm/BEACH-BOYS-ORIGINAL-FENDER-STARCASTER-PROTOTYPE-GUITAR-/130472186089?pt=Guitar&hash=item1e60bf90e9

So if it keeps increasing its value so rapidly, go get a credit, buy it and sell it for 250.000 next year :D

Never really seen him play it ... not exactly historic.
