I don't believe for a second that this guitar is the first. For one thing....it has a bound neck.

[sgosnell]

It's a prototype, not a production guitar.

Naw, you are in hedge fund manager territory or owner of an MLM. Dentist and surgeons today don't have that kind of scratch. They're paying off mountains of debt just to become a dentist/surgeon.

A headless Les Paul is a good investment.

$930,000 ... not bad for a chopped-up old goldtop.
