Haha. No. You can find quite a few that age or older in the, say, $5k - $10k range.
Edit: and I should add that, if you're an acoustic player, nothing has the sound of a vintage Martin. They just can't get those woods anymore. I own a '74 D18 and would love to have a 60's or earlier D28... but for $100k it would have to have been owned by Clapton or something.
exactly. The rosewood used on the older ones AGE amazingly and have a warmth you just cant find elsewhere.
That rosewood is basically extinct. The really old trees are almost all gone in that part of the amazon.
"compensated Mammouth ivory sadlle (10000 years old and impossible to find now in the USA)"
Huh? From an actual mammoth?

Maybe there is _something_ better about old bone
I've been thinking about learning to play guitar. Think something like that would be a good guitar to start with?

Absolutely, but only as a beater. If you want to play, really play, seek out a vintage 1959 Les Paul. Then you'll only be playing guitar

Because someone will pay that much for it. Period.
Well it shows other ones right below it at 45k and 65k at the moment. So I'm guessing it is worth what everyone is bidding.
I don't know what's up but it makes no sense. The condition of the instrument is not that great, and it shows signs of some potentially inexpert repair work around the pick guard and the bridge. You can readily find many examples of the same year and materials in better shape for less than $10k. So something is way off.
Yikes, $115k for a D-100 Deluxe
