Top 10 guitars

I just read this really interesting blog post. It's about the 10 most valuable guitars. Long story short, the most valuable guitar in the world is the "reach out to Asia" strat. It's a novelty guitar signed by a bunch of famous people but never played or used to record by anyone famous and it's not a "first" of anything either(i.e. first electric, first strat, first les paul, tele with serial # 001). So I loved the post, the writer did some good research and it's a must read for guitar buffs.

Anyway here was the comment I left. It's a bit long but I put some thought into it. For example if I could choose one of the guitars or if I had as much money as Paul Allen(Microsoft) which one would I choose:

As a owner of a strat for going on 18 years now(my second strat a black 1997 american series strat)if I could have any guitar on the list? I would take either Blackie, Lenny or the '68 Hendrix strat. Although the "reach out to Asia" strat looks nice, I see it as more of a novelty item. The other guitars were used to create history and can be heard on some of the greatest albums of all time.

I also noticed a few guitars that were absent. They have most likely not come up for sale yet so we'll see: Clapton's 1964 Gibson SG "Fool" Guitar, Jimmy Page's '62 EDS 1275 SG, any of EVH's 5150's, Les Paul's original gold top standard(the one he always played, sadly now that he has passed I'd imagine this could be up for grabs and might break the record), the guitar that Brian May built as a kid, Willie Nelson's nylon string Martin "Trigger", either one of John Lennon's epiphones(Casino or acoustic J-160E), McCartney's Violin Bass, Rory Gallagher's worn '61 strat, one of the rare "Nocaster's"(only 60 produced in 1950-'51) and I could go on. If one of these were to come to market and someone with the money and desire were to come across it? If I had Paul Allen's money I would probably pay a whatever I had to pay to get "Blackie", I have always liked to tone of that guitar. I even have my own version(http://imgur.com/yY0U9.jpg). But you did some great research and I really enjoyed the read.
