I believe Mecum's commission is 20%, so $30k for $150K.I how extra would they have to pay over $150K, as a buyer's premium? :hmm

You need to call Mecum as to lot number location of auction what level your membership is Tom this is not black & white .I how extra would they have to pay over $150K, as a buyer's premium? :hmm
for some reason that repair doesnt bother me to much. a busted headstock or a cracked heal would bother me worse. it has a really nice top that kind of makes up for the hidden repair. it only went to 150? seams like it would have brought 200 because of the nice top.
i have an original burst guard. although its framed and les paul etched his name in it. he did it for my friend in the fifties. i might sell it... however ..acording to my wife i want to much for everything i sell.Hey guys
Thought I would shed some light on the repair work as it was done by my Luthier (Piers Crocker) in Newcastle NSW, 1988. Piers has done some amazing work on old guitars in Aus and is a vintage nerd like all of us.
How i know this is I saw the original pickguard to this burst which had multiple holes for the switching, my guess is the current guard is a period correct replacement. Piers also had pics of before and after (from memory) which id love to get a hold of.
I think 150k is pretty fair for a guitar with extensive repairs, maybe just me :hmm

seems like that was a sleeper deal. unless you talk to a millenial. however i think when junior millenial inherits senior boomers money all of the sudden he may want the real version of all of the 'custom' shop copies he has been buying.. hence..the circle of lifeSee my post above. It closed at $212k...after the public auction was done.
