*Only* 4,000 made? That's more than twice the number of original 1950s Les Paul Standards. Rare it is not...

Some people really are delusional. I can't imagine anyone would would pay more than £1,500 for it let alone £15,000.

well you've pooped all over my pending new Guitar day post.....

Wait a minute, how many Muffroom Clouds were made?

A banksy guitar. Opening the box will destroy it. This will actually make it more valuable, which isn't that hard seeing as they couldn't give them away when issued.

If you run it halfway through a shredder you can double the investment overnight.

To be fair, though, it's between these and the Dark Fire for the best looking Les Paul.

Nah. The Dusk Tiger beats both of them by a mile.

I hadn't actually seen that before - what in the actual fuck were they thinking? Who was the target market for that?

On a serious note could you get the box x rayed to confirm there’s at least a guitar in it ?

What would be the point? Does the unopened box add any value at all to this? I can't see how tbh

I have one of those, and it is delightfiul.  It' may be the only Gibson that I don't sell.

Whatever the target was, they clearly didn't hit it.

At no point in the ad does he say it contains a guitar, he just says its the box for a Gibson Robot guitar.

WTF is a "Robot" guitar?

Has it travelled back in time to kill the leader of the blues-bore resistance as a child or something?

Well, according to Gibson it killed a Strat:

The video doesn't seem to run on the Gibson archive, but you can see it's full awfulness here:
