I have never bought anything on e-bay, and am not a collector. But this guitar has to be pretty much way up there on a JM fan/collector's wish list. Is it one of the guitars that was used in the S&L video ?
I saw her in Minneapolis on the S&L tour, and as I recall, she had 3?
identical blond colored fat hollow-body guitars that were very similar (if
not identical) to the one(s) I'd seen Pat Metheny play numerous times
(including this concert). The guitar on ebay is sunburst (but otherwise
similar). Okay, I located my incredibly bad dub of this video, and sure
enough, she is playing 2? different blond guitars (at least one is an
Ibanez, which is what the one on ebay is). Got that? So she had, by my
reckoning, at least four similar guitars, maybe many more. Did she have
one for every one of her distinct tunings? Did she choose to only play
blond ones while touring with Metheny, so that all the guitars on stage
(not including Pastorius' bass) would match? (Incidentally, Metheny's
guitar was a Gibson, and simpler than Joni's electronically, a true "jazz
guitar".) I encourage everyone to go to this site and look at the amazing
pictures http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2508437444; I,
for one, will keenly watch the bidding over the next week or so.
