I did find some people's original comments on a bit insulting - just because it was not their taste does not mean that it automatically should reside in a drug trafficer's mansion.

It is fucking ugly though isn’t it?

I think it looks nice.

But it’s only got a single cutaway?

The original question was inspired by this 

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gibson-Les-Paul-Super-Custom-Carved-Art-Piece-Electric-Guitar/183754060659?hash=item2ac8987373:g:63kAAOSwy6ham1vD

But I have no connection with the seller - honest gov. I did find some people's original comments on a bit insulting - just because it was not their taste does not mean that it automatically should reside in a drug trafficer's mansion.

I think it is an interesting question as to why anyone would buy anything for more than it's value as a utility. For instance you can get a decent fridge for less than £1k but some fridges cost £15k. Equally you can get a pair of trainers for £20 but many people pay £50+.

OK, I'll see your £20k and raise you £10k.

Very imaginative. In 120 years time that could easily be worth £50,000,000.
