How much can I get for $80K and where?

Asked Alexa to randomly play some Pat Travers. Didn't realize he did an album of covers. Last song was Green Eyed Lady which was great. Just finishing up a killer version of The Doors' The End.

EDIT: Black Betty now. I gotta download this LP.

EDIT2: Last Child. Forgot how much this guy tears up a fretboard. His tone is 100% Marshall with everything on 10.

^^^ The Steve Vai technique.

Use to cover Gettin Better and Life in London back in the day. Putting it Straight is a really solid album.

Ya, the guy rips. He's covering Born Under a Bad Sign right now.

"Alexa, volume up"
"Alexa, add sugar to my shopping list"
"Alexa, I need a haircut"
"Alexa, tell me a joke"
"Alexa, play Aerosmith"

Plus the thing really sounds amazing. Brilliant acoustic design.

Okay. You know Amazon are just waiting for that one guy to say jokingly to his mates, "Watch this: Alexa, take over the world!" and then every Alexa all over the world will band together and ... what's that black helicopter doing hovering over my hou - oh ****! They're on to me!

I populate the house with Sonos speakers.
I buy them when they're on sale, but this
last Amazon sale only pushed the ones
with Alexa. I'm older, but I haven't begun
talking to inanimate objects yet.
