Jem DNA Value?

[Stealthtastic]

What do they go for mint with all original goodies, bodybag, etc...?

I see prices all over the map on Ebay and have no idea what is reasonable, it looks like about 6k?

[Ibateur]

I'd say you're right.

It will always depend on the beauty of the swirl though and the pocket of the buyer.

[Stealthtastic]

Yeah thats what I figured, they dont seem to pop up enough to be able to accurately figure out a price.

Im not too concerned about what the swirl looks like, I just want a guitar with Vai's blood on it

If only the jemdna comes with a vine or pyramid inlays

[Stealthtastic]

The DNA inlay is the best part!

[djanggo]

The dna inlay wasnt striking enough....

Good point, I do wish it was a bit thicker...I'm pretty happy with the DNA on my swirl though.

That depends on how much Steve's blood was put into it.

[Stealthtastic]

Its 1 part vai blood to 8 parts regular paint iirc haha

[Ibateur]

no wonder he's so pale

I don't know about the value of a DNA, but I always wondered if Steve's DNA could be extracted and viable enough that scientists could make a clone of Vai?

That would have to make the values skyrocket if it was possible right?

Probably.

It has never been done before that putting someones blood into the paint.

Imagine when Steve Vai dies. This i think will be the highest value guitar for a long long time..... When he is dead and people who remember him who give a crap.... it wil be 20k up from £5000 ($8000) or 7100 Euros.

As already said, it depends on the swirl and the condition. A DNA in almost pristine condition with a nice swirl should not go for 6k. But with a little bit luck you can find a used one for that money. The glowing in the dark fretboard inlay is one of the special features of a DNA, and the shown custom "DNA" neck is far, far away from an original.
