Why not the best time?


23 people on the internet hate Neal and would like to rip his entrails out and read their fortunes in them.



Other than that, he's still just Neal Schon.

As far as the great guitarists go, Neal has always been looked over. But hell, Danny Devito can look over him.

Normally I frown on Neal bashing but this is best one I've seen yet :lol:

Not really sure what I would ask for it. Prices on them seem to fluctuate a good bit. I originally paid between $900 and $1000 for it in 1986. It has spent the majority of its life in the case. I'm a musician but have three trusty Strats that have seen all the miles and abuse.

If/when I decide to sell I guess I would place it on eBay and see what people were willing to pay for it.

A couple years back, didn't Neal sell his guitar he used to record Stone in Love with? I'm pretty sure it was an Ebay charity auction or something of the sort and I believe the asking price was in the neighborhood of $9,000. Anyone else remember that?

Hey everyone, thanks for all the replies. I was really just trying to add a little lightness and humor here... I would sell the guitar, but really wouldn't consider selling it for less than I paid for it in '86. That may sound stupid, but the reality is that since I left my starving traveling musician days and became a computer geek, I don't need the money. I wouldn't sell it for peanuts mainly due to the fact that:

1. I love Journey (as they were) they were MY band growing up.
2. I litterally spent a year mowing lawns and bagging groceries while I was in school to pay for the thing. My parents knew how obsessed I was with that guitar, and let me take the day off of school the day UPS delivered it to my door.
3. Although I don't play it, it sits between my Fender and PRS cases, always there to break out and remember.

Funny thing, I saw Bad English in Cincinnatti on their first tour. A friend and I had both saved all summer to buy matching Schon NS-1 guitars. We made a poster that said "Neal Schon, the 'Rock Dog'", had the Schon logo, and we were even dorky enough to add our guitar's serial numbers. We held the poster up all during the show from the front row. When they came to bow together before the encore, Jonathan Cain (friga?) read the sign, a big smile crossed his face, and he pointed it out to Neal and John (Waite). Jonathan came and grabbed the poster from me, and showed it to Neal and the crowd. Neal gave me a high-five, and I swear, John Waite grabbed a beer off the drum riser, came over and handed it to me. I was underage at the time (18) and the fans around me cheered as I chugged the beer.

I still have both the beer bottle AND the poster. As I said, I am a geek.
