Cool, but I'm still saving up for the 2 million dollar Peter Green/Gary Noore Les Paul, and I can't afford both.

Yeah, but it includes the Brooklyn Bridge. A bargain I'd say.

I can't believe that nobody here has bought this guitar yet, what wrong with you guys?

Here someone is selling Robert Johnson's Gibson L1, and they know it's Robert Johnson's because it looks like the one on the "Robert Johnson CD Box Set"!!!
That's all they have on it, no paper work, no documentation, nothing except that it looks like the guitar on the CD, and they only want $6 Million for it?

Well I was just looking through some records and I think I may have Hank Williams old D-28 Martin, it looks just like the one I have.
Wait, this may have been Elvis's D-28, what if I just advertise it as belonging to Hank and Elvis. It looks just like like ones they are holding on their CD covers.
This old Martin must be worth more than six million.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Alvin Blaine on 27 July 2006 at 02:12 AM.]</p></FONT>

It simply can't be Robert Johnson's Gibson L1, because I bought his guitar in a pawn shop in Birmingham for $25 in 1960.

OK Guys, all together now, 1,2,3, BITE US!!!

If any of you want a really nice NEW guitar, give ME the 6 millon, I'll get you one. I'll even throw in a case and an extra set of strings.

Basil, that must have been when Robert Johnson was over there being the fifth Beatle for a while in the early days. He probably traded it in for a Hofner.

This scenario is more believable than the 6 million dollar scam.<font size="1" color="#8e236b"><p align="center">[This message was edited by Chris LeDrew on 27 July 2006 at 12:19 PM.]</p></FONT>
