[ Closed ] White Flying V used by Joe for sale (Page 1 of 3)

I feel for the guy.  Autism is just draining - emotionally, physically, and financially.  Hope the sale goes well, I'm sure the money will make a big impact in his kid's life.

"Played once by Joe Bonamassa."

A 1990 Flying V isn't worth more than $500-800 used no matter who played it. $4000 is toward the outrageous. I realize Joe touched it once and his kid has autism, but those things don't make it worth more.

Since 2010, Bonamassa fans have taken advantage of my JB friend discount = my cost + shipping.

I think I would sh*t bricks if I heard Joe play Lights Out!

Not my guitar. I used an A  series Korina reissue Gibson when I went to audition at Pete Way's house.

Don't not buy it based that it was my guitar.  Cause it wasn't. It's a ghost story.

Troubling to say the least.

Rocket and Pete......go to hell

The guitar is mine and I am a huge joe fan and long time supporter of all things Joe. Call bonamassa guitars anfpd talk to Robert. He sold me the guitar and gave me the letter. So if anything is not authentic about it, it's on him, not me! Robert is a great guy. His son is also autistic.

And take your firewall idea and can it. My wife and I work 4 jobs between us and still have a hard time meeting the financial strains of my daughters autism.

I put the guitar up to raise some much needed money. If someone buys it, great, if not, so be it. It kills me to have to sell it.

I also have 2 others up for sale which I have stated I will keep the v if one of those sells.

You guys are something else, ya know. What business of it is yours? I also read some other redneck post about Joe saying its fake. Well I guess joe can call me. My number is in the ad. In fact....any of you that have a problem, call me. If it is fake, I guess I have a problem with Robert and bonamassa guitars too.

Maybe this will help clear things up. Have a great day.

It takes a lot more love and patience than money to raise an autistic child. I wish you well. My nephew is autistic. He's now happily married with two fine sons, a house and two bachelors degrees! There is hope.

btw.. over on the MLP forum, I see that you scooped up a killer amp! Sweet deal!!!

Happy Independence Day! Be safe this weekend y'all.

I have pulled the V off of eBay until I can get the real story. I have had a ton of correspondence from Bob, who wrote and signed the letter you saw in the ad. He swears by his story that the letter is 100% accurate.

I will be following up with Bonamassa guitars as soon as possible.

I didn't forge that letter, I didn't write it, sign it, or come up with the letterhead. If it turns out it is false, I will pursue the issue to the full extent, because that means I got duped. I will reserve judgement until I look into it further, but I assure you guys, there was absolutely no ill intentions on my part. My phone number is in the ad, and I have nothing to hide. Perfect feedback on the my les paul forum and on eBay. I only listed it as it was presented to me and stated in the letter.

As far as price goes, I paid 2800 for the guitar. With eBay and paypal fees, the opening bid would have netted me my money back. That's all I was looking for.

I don't care what anyone thinks about my ad to be honest. As for paying what I did, I had emails from 8 different people about buying the guitar after I pulled it down. It would have sold, so I guess I'm not the only one who would pay that.

Allegedly? When the co- owner of Bonamssa guitars tells me something, and then authenticates it with a signed letter on company letterhead, silly me for believing it.
