My pending Ken Lawrence explorer. Not all details are finalized but I'm looking at $7500.
 
My Triamp MKII. With the midi module added on, it was about 4k. It was worth it. Totally worth it.
 
$1,450 for an '81 Les Paul Custom.

I learned a long time ago that I sound the same on virtually everything so I use nice quality stuff and I'm good.

Diminishing returns start at about $1,000 for me. Guitars and amps.
 
My 1990 PRS Custom 24 bought it about 8 years ago for $2235.00

My Jet City Earhart was by far my most expensive purchase - between the $1200-$1800 range (won't disclose exact numbers). 2nd most expensive purchase was $550 for a guitar - after my endorsement discount. I'm not too big on buying really expensive gear until I become a better player lol

I bought a 73 sunburst Les Paul Custom around 8 or 9 years ago for a little less than 5 grand. I ended up selling it after a car wreck to pay for medical bills. I have bought quite a few pieces of gear in the 3 to 4 grand range, but only one over $4500. What about you guys? What was it, how much did it cost?

My '73 les Paul custom is my most expensive piece as well, but I must have hit it when the market was low as it was much less than 5 grand. Sorry about the car accident, that sucks....
 
I sold a first year very celan one owner 1954 Fender Stratocaster for $88K to Guitar Center Hollywood back in 2006 at the Dallas Guitar Show to Dave and Drew "The Burst Brothers".

I had paid $35K for it years earlier.

that's a nice profit.
 
A Parker Fly Classic for $1300. Late 90's model in outstanding condition.
 
Blackmachine b2 or my new Teuffel order. Both over 10k.
 
Have to be my Suhr classic T. ~$2700 with tax and shipping.
 
Marshall Super100JH. Full stack. Actually I didn't buy it, I worked it off buy painting my friend's house who happens to own the guitar shop around the block. I think it was like 4500$ His cost. I ended up selling the cabs and amps seperately, at that time I had another good amp and 2 other 1960 cabs.
