Not quite with you. Did you mean its selling price at #38,400 was way
short of the guitar magazine valuations?
If you did, you're right. I spoke to a dealer in rare guitars a couple
of weeks before the auction and he thought that some of the guitars -
the Gibson Explorer in particular - would fetch considerably more than
the eventually did.
BTW, all the prices shown by sotheby's in their "results" page include
the 20% buyer's premium, so the Gibsdon flying V actually sold for
#30,720 or $46,000.
Cheers,
