I wonder what the street price on her is going to be... I'd consider selling of a few guitars to have that.
Block inlay Gibson ES-335, 50th anniversary American Strat, '61 RI White SG, '62 RI Relic Strat, Replica Korina Flying V, Gold Tone Paul Beard Resonator, '58 Les Paul RI, American Highway 1 Fender Strat, Breedlove Acoustic, Stonetree Joe Bonamassa Custom, HIWATT Lead 100R, Reeves Custom 30.

I don't know for certain but the way manufacturer prices keep skyrocketing I'm guessing about $8500. As for the amount made I guess that will depend upon how many initial orders come in. There already seems to be plenty of interest for this. If you do plan to buy one, I suggest getting your orders in with Wildwood early!

Keep in mind this guitar is being marketed to collectors not players. It is after all being called "Collectors Choice #3". And while Joe is mentioned in the write up as being the current owner of the original 60 LP, this is not a "Bonamassa Signature" guitar. I don't think Joe has any say in pricing on this one folks. Sorry. ...but I hope I'm wrong. Wouldn't be the first time.

If it had a nicer flame top I'd love one - still a gorgeous guitar but for the £4.5k price tag I would want a flame top, definitely a collectors piece.

Love the guitar. Despise the price. Could buy a running '65 Mustang for that much.

$9400 is a lot. 
I need to win the lottery... but alas, I have more then enough guitar as it is.
Sticker shock, a cure for GAS? 
Say it isn't so!

I've found that if you take off at least $2000 it will get you in the ball park of the price of the instrument. $3000 max. I was surprised really I thought it was going to be over $10,000.

I'm not sure what the dealer MAP is but I'm sure you'll get a much better price if you call them.

I'm estimating it's going to cost somewhere in the ballpark of $7000. I think it's typically 2/3 the price of the MSRP. Beautiful instrument and best wishes to those who can afford it. Collect and (hopefully) play in good health.

Re: Joe's 1960 LP ~ Gibson Custom Shop Collectors Choice #3
It's funny to me that Gibson has taken a special liking to Joe's collection of guitars. I can't think of another artist or collector that has been prodded by Gibson to recreate more than one of their prized guitars. That says something to us about the guitars he has, but it could say more from a support standpoint that Gibson and Joe share.
