List Price: $109,999.00"

I find the price tag as nauseating as the all the inlay, way over the top.
That price tag is a piece of art.

The tag didn't do much for me, but it might present better if it were framed.

Lillian, I just like surrealism (framed or not framed).
I also think that those who figured out the price ($109,999.00, not $110,000.00) had a great deal of fun when they did so, which makes me smile. Obviously, that kind of guitar is not about guitars. ;)

Yes it is Larrys Design for the 1,000,000th guitar, but slightly different

the ACTUAL 1,000,000th is even more decked out than this one (if thats posible)

the d-100 Deluxe is a guitar that commemorates the milestone guitar...even if it is a bit....hmmm whats the word?..........overthetop????

they made 50 of them, numbered 1,000,001 -1,000,050

still, its fair insane for a guitar, i dont know how id feel having a guitar worth more than all of my other posessions combined and multiplied by 10

Cheers
