To be honest, I'd be nervous taking my '64 335 out on a local gig as if it were damaged or stolen, I could afford to replace it.
At the same show I also played a Les Paul that supposedly was another original 59. I quite liked it, but had no idea what I was doing. I was told it was with 25 grand. Would have been a good investment if it really was original.
Without it turning into a pissing contest, I wonder who has the most valuable (in terms of £'s, not emotional value) guitar on the forum?
I cant help it.

I have a 69 Les Paul Custom ,but it has 44 yrs of wear and I don't care if I add more to it.
tbh - damage to them is my bigger paranoia.
Feedback
I got told I was a collector of guitars by my Karate instructor ... but that's circumstance between job and kids I'm tied up - it won't alsways be like that, so I get my joy in creating or commisioning exactly what I want - pedals, amps, guitars
I wouldnt care about putting a few marks on one of my guitars as long as I know I want to keep it, and play it for a significant length of time. I just worry about losing a lot of money on something expensive, after realising that its not the guitar for me after 6-12 months.
I occasionally think that mid-range guitars are the way to go.
I have a Fret King propped up by my bed at the moment thats probably picking up a bit of paint from the wall on the headstock and body, and it also probably gets a bit warm in there somedays (insert your own joke here), but thats fine cos its not worth so much, so who cares? It now gets more play than my american G&L, which sits on its stand in the spare room.
