Re: Played The Adam Jones 1979 Les Paul Aged & Signed Custom Today And It Was Killer
Let's if this gets accepted this time. Not sure why a post is held back...
Yes, I do understand. Some people don't want to spend $18k on a custom shop guitar regardless of the associated artist.
But there are others that do. Their enthusiasm is energized by the musician, artist, music that is being celebrated.
Just like when Page's #1 was released in '04. Many people were excited to buy one, many were turned off by the pricing.
The interesting discussion here isn't about the artist or the music. It's that the cost to make the CS LP guitar, whether it's
an aged R9, a collectors choice, or a CS Norlin version is about the same. The asking price is independent and driven by the demand and supply. More popluar artists (ie Page) have a higher limited edition amount. Other artists (Adam Jones) have less. But the prices are both high as hardcore fans will pony up.
Definitely not for everyone. But special for the hardcore fan.
To each his own.
Maybe your the one missing the point of some of the posts , the negative response is not defined by musical taste .
