...where are all the “you could get 10 Custom shop’s for that money”, “Vintage is crap” crowd??

No, sorry. I can’t keep it up.
You clearly love this guitar, you should send them an email to start some dialogue about it. And keep us posted.

But none of them would be ‘that’ guitar...
Sell an organ/child/your body/soul etc and just buy it!
Is that better?
How's that?
All valid points but the overriding factor is, how could I buy a guitar off someone who can’t spell Mott The Hoople properly??

It's literally just a guitar, wood and metal, not a chippendale Made in the cheapest way possible back in the 50s, it's amazing what rose tinted glasses do to us.
it wasn't anywhere near the 25k you are talking tho.
The long and short or it, I don't play it because it sounds shit in my hands, especially because I don't get on with classical.
Therefore it spends all it's life under the bed In it's case, hopefully appreciating in value.
Terrible shame for such a lovely instrument. Some nights I'm sure I can hear it crying...
If it was one of his electrics then I'm sure it would get played a lot.

It’s only because people *are* willing to deal with them when they have something they really want that keeps them in business - I know someone like that, who got ripped off multiple times before he finally got done so blatantly that he’s never gone back.

You're absolutely right in 20/30 years time, as much as I hope it's not the case, a Mick Ralphs owned guitar will probably mean a lot less to a lot more people and then one is left with just a heavily modified Blackguard Esquire, worth £25k?? I very much doubt it...
"It's literally just a guitar, wood and metal, not a chippendale"
It's not....it's Ralpher's Esquire. This is another person's 'Blackie' or Rory's Strat or SRV's No.1 or @Gassage's latest guitar...
