Title: Just......wow.

A fool and their money... (http://cgi.ebay.com/GIBSON-LES-PAUL-REISSUE-FLAMETOP-85-STRUCK-BY-LIGHTNING_W0QQitemZ280364274949QQcmdZViewItemQQptZGuitar?hash=item4147035505&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A3|66%3A4|39%3A1|240%3A1307|301%3A0|293%3A4|294%3A200)

Here we have a 1985 Gibson Les Paul that was supposedly STRUCK BY LIGHTNING.  The bids are up to over $1200.

Though I love Les Pauls, why would anyone pay anything for this guitar??

It's a shady deal.  No strings attached.

I 'd be concerned of being burned, in a deal like that.

It's shocking what some fools will spend their money on.

I'm shocked that anyone would even want to pay for that what was once a guitar

Stop fretting about what is likely a harmless sale. But it's pretty clear that any buyer of this guitar will stick his neck out.

You've made a good case.

It's easy when you are in tune with the subject.

Sooner or later, though, someone here will go a bridge too far.

Yeah, but does it go up to 11?

Obviously, this deal is striking the right chord with several bidders.

Yep.  These puns have been stripped down to the g-string.

It does have free shipping!  :evillaugh:

Are the parts worth anything?

I wonder if the guy included the guitar in his insurance claim with the damage to his house? (see ebay listing, for pics of house)

I wonder what his insurance adjuster would say if he seen this listing?
