I was way off. I was thinking $10k. I think it is close to the plateau...could be wrong again.

Re: FS: Steve Vai's own Jem VAI2K DNA (on e-bay now item# 290027082446)


well the reserve looks to have been $20k, and its now over $22k with 8 days left. WOW....these must be some seriously rich private collectors.

My bet is its going to end at, hrmm, $28,500. I honestly can't see it going for more than that, were already at vintage 50's strat prices.

I'm suprised it's even got this high. It was only owned by steve, doesnt have his blood like the production ones.

Even slashes guitar went for Ł6,000 and he is more well known.

I haven't seen any info saying it doesn't have the blood. Perhaps Rich can confirm this..

It tells you on the e-bay site. Its only a prototype, not containing his blood. Not really a prototype though, surely they would have to test it first, hence the need for a real prototype.

i emailed the addy and put an initial offer. they're hoping to get $25k for Cliff. I hope they get it as I'd hate to think of what happened if he didn't discover Steve & Joe!

I just hope the "winner" is actually a buyer who can pay, and not someone who just wanted to bid on Steve's guitar.

Like some others in this thread. So much for the rules of discussion.
You know, they are trying to sell this guitar for a good cause. Why dont you guys quit with the "i wanna see my name" cr@p.

Yes and we put realistic bids knowing we'd get outbid. So for the good cause, we pushed the price up.

No need for the comments, they only cause bad vibes amongst people.

Re: FS: Steve Vai's own Jem VAI2K DNA (on e-bay now item# 290027082446)


Let me clear up some things:

The auction clearly states that this guitar does NOT have blood in the paint.

And yes, this is the prototype - the first DNA guitar made.

Ibanez5000 - I'm not sure what you're trying to suggest when you say we'll "see problems with that auction when some big cheese with too much money decides to buy and then finds out it aint the "real thing"."

This is the "real thing".. and if you're a person who can afford to drop serious money on the guitar, you would have read the auction clearly.

Your comments are largely conjecture and assumption. Please don't litter this thread with further comments unless you have checked your facts first. There is nothing misleading about the auction and we aren't "covering our asses."

The bottom line is, this is one of Steve Vai's guitars, and a well-known one at that. The purpose of the auction is to raise funds for a very sick man.

Peace,

Mikey

Only stating the facts mate. Lefty Rob obviously didnt read the auction, which I actually pointed out to him that it says it doesnt contain his blood.
My comments arent assumption at all. If you are selling something, you cant make a false statement regarding that item, and clearly you havent and its pointed out clearly what the story is with the guitar.

Anyway. Good luck with the auction.
