He's a millionaire. So what?

100% agree and a lot of people spent money in wars and drugs...so i think that be careful with the most important guitar in the world is very reasonable.

On the other hand. I've heard guys like Jaco Pastorius and James Jamerson played with greasy fingers

Yep, James Jamerson never cleaned his guitar, he believed the greasy build-up was where the funk came from. Hey, if he believed it I'm not gonna' argue.

quite right matt z.
I bet Bri's not unique in this , how many pro musicians have to travel with their instruments, priceless Stradivarius ' etc etc, Julian Lloyd Webber has molly-coddled his cello for years to this degree. In the hold??- I should cocoa.

Isn't this an old story?
According to various sources he DID pay a child's fare for the guitar travelling to Los Angeles, in 1982!
I wouldn't have thought it would have been £10k at that time

Not unless he makes a habit of it!

Question is: What would you have Brian do if he didn't do this? What's the alternative?
