Chandler Custom Bonamassa Telepathic guitar (Page 1 of 2)

Telepathic! Does it play what you are thinking of, or just broadcast the music directly to your brain?
No wonder so much $$$.

That was up for sale a few months ago for several auctions. The guy kept listing it for around 4K. Never sold to my knowledge but this looks like a different guy listing it. It was on the cover of Guitar One magazine with Joe when he was written about along with John Mayer and Derek Trucks. I have the issue. I wanted the guitar but for more like $2,500. I have the other Chandler Strat of Joe's just wanted it for no other reason than that. I saw him play it in Kansas City in 2003. Have a picture of it. I told the seller only a hardcore Joe Bonamassa nut like me has ever even seen the guitar or knows the story would care about it. I think I insulted him with my offer cause I never heard anything back.

Holy crap is this guy for real?
I have Joe's blue Gigoloiti strat that he played countless times. Must be worth more then that..... Come on I saw this guitar sometime back also clearly the guy does think he will hit the lottery,.. Who knows he may

Cool thanks for posting

Once again.., Bob was a friend who continues to choose a path of scamming people out of money and using my family name like it is his own penny bank.  The guitar is worth 500 dollars add a dollar that I played it.  Bob is someone who is to be avoided at all cost... I'd rather buy a Bluesbreaker combo from music ground ...if that tells you anything.

Thanks for chiming in Joe

There's one still in Denmark Street in London.
Alongside rip-off deals, Music Ground as a company have had a history of selling off less-vintage guitars as the real thing and mixing & matching instruments to produce guitars that are ultimately worthless.

There was a documentary made about Music Ground a few years ago, exposing a story where they were an accessory to robbery of a vintage guitar shop in Italy where the guitars (mostly Fenders) were stolen, modified to become untraceable, and sold by Music Ground as rare vintage examples.

A place to be extremely cautious of.

Anyway with regards to the Chandler, if it concerns Joe that much would it be worth filing a formal complaint or a lawsuit, if he's making a profit on the back of your name without permission, or is that a bit extreme?

Utica Classic guitars in my opinion should be avoid at all cost. Three reasons... One the guitar may be mine but at 25 thousand is laughable. Two: Bob has a history of fake authentications regarding my name with his past dealings with my father. The reason the business closed and my father is relieved to be away from him after a 20 year friendship. Three: personally Bob is someone that took advantage of our family name for his own financial gain and simply continues to do so to save face with past clients and other claims and promises. 
The guitar was listed for 4,000 dollars many times. Didn't sell.. So add 21,000 and bingo.
Worse than the Harrison's at least they smile before they screw you over. Bob just types in Capital letters. A small man who will get what he deserves in the end.
