edit - although the PAF's add to the value, missed that bit... make it £4k
it has an honest description and real mods. They all make it worth a lot less, but it does seem to be what it claims

However, its clearly the same guitar that Eric used with McCartney and with some of the other stuff. And secretly, I quite like the idea of the varitone... £65k? Hmmm, I think it may be tad optimistic and it has been for sale for a long time...
Well even then, its ultimately worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If it was for charity and I was a millionaire I'd probably hoover up guitars from people like Graham Coxon or James Dean Bradfield, Tim Wheeler etc.
Of course, none of their guitars would go for 65k!!
Oh and an ex-McCartney guitar? Doesn't exist, he doesn't part with *anything* - my wife's ex rewired his studio in Sussex and he's kept *everything*. Therefore if anything did come up, I think you could put a nought on the end and maybe double if if was a Beatles era guitar!
Good grief look at that nut! (I hate locking nuts anyway so admit I'm biased.)
For a collector, it'll be interesting though. Obviously priced high, expecting it to be knocked down a lot.
I'm not much of fan of 10cc but I'd say that they are bit more than 'minor celebrity'....
Paying £65k - insanity
Don't get the wrong idea, I'm not in love, but the man has star quality.
Major or minor celebrity, that list of credentials still makes me want to barf.

It is incredibly heavy (despite the Floyd Rose cavity) and is 'so' far from original that its barely recognisable as a 50s guitar. IIRC, it suffered a serious neck break earlier in its life and was renecked by Ted - having salvaged the original fingerboard.
Without an artist association, I doubt it would sell for as much as a Gibson Custom Shop guitar.
Here's a very young me - and my late sister with it - and the break:
