Nicolai Foss
The most expensive guitar in history is arguably the Clifford Essex Paragon de Luxe that Vic Flick used for the statement of the melody line in the James Bond theme (here is a fun page on Flick). It is reported to have been traded for a price around ½ million USD. Still some way to go for those D’Aquistos, Strombergs and D’Angelicos. Anyway, here is a similar Essex archtop. Not the one — but still offered at a buy it now price of 15,500 USD! Essex guitars are well made, do fetch high prices, and this specimen is quite pretty, but 15,500 …. GMaB!!!
