This might be a hard sell, unless things have changed a lot...

By that valuation, HarrySeven would be minted.

Looks like a resprayed late 70s Aria that Gerry Cott of the Boomtown Rats got his hands on.

Taking the piss is what GG do best, so this is fine form.

Interesting guitar but miles overpriced.  I always wanted to try one though - interesting frets...

By the way look at the provided power supply, it looks like a diecast box & Letraset job.  I suppose that was good enough in those days.

It will be interesting so see how much it does sell for - I recall them been released at the Frankfurt Show all those winters ago - To be honest I'm not sure what it is worth - I know the easy answer is 'it is worth what someone will pay for it' but you have to start at some price - I know if I was offered one for £1000 as a buying in or potential trade in then I would pass - So what price do you put on it - I'm intrigued how it pans out but with no interest in ever owning one - anyone know of any past sold prices be it FB, e-bay etc

Presumably the sad passing of Roger Moore has caused Bond related memorabilia to rise in value?

I like that - But the government are always selling various Bonds - think China has loads of them

Wow, the frets - what a fascinating idea!

Till you try and refret it...

By the way though I said the frets were interesting, not sure I'd actually want them on a steel-strung instrument... wear, replacement, etc.

(edit: there are a few odd south-east Asian instruments using angled cuts on the fingerboard... can't remember which ones they are right now though.  Some Pipas have these cuts, though a different shape and a lot steeper than I'm thinking of.)

I can't see any sold listing on eBay, but there is a seller in Amsterdam selling one for 2.2k

That's not original. The original is a two-tone plastic late-70s/early-80s style enclosure with a direct mains connection and proper Bond lettering.

The 'pitchboard' is a total nightmare once even the smallest amount of wear starts, which happens quite quickly.

The highest I've heard of one selling for is £500, and that *was* with the original power supply and a Bond-logo cable.

Interesting info. So not even worth it for a fanatical collector I guess...
