A vintage guitar showdown just rocked the Pawn Stars shop! A seller named Joshua strutted in with a 1962 Fender Jaguar, a custom-colored Lake Placid Blue beauty, claiming it was worth a cool $20,000. Chumlee, ever the cautious negotiator, called in an expert to assess the instrument’s true value.
The expert confirmed the guitar’s rarity, pointing out its place as one of Fender’s “Big Four” and its use by music icons like Kurt Cobain and John Frusciante. After a thorough examination, the expert agreed with Joshua’s valuation of $20,000.
With the expert’s appraisal in hand, Chumlee made an offer of $14,000. But Joshua, convinced of his guitar’s worth, wasn’t biting. He decided to keep the prized instrument, leaving Chumlee empty-handed.
