Sure these guitars would cost well north of $10-15k. I don't see the point.
Bassguy from the forum walked out after half an hour in disgust


I don't blame him, I think this whole Relic'd Guitars thing is mostly market-driven, I seem to remember one of Jimi Hendrix's burnt Stratocasters going for some exorbitant price at an auction one time, and then you had the limited run of Fender's SRV No.1 Strat.
