I can't reiterate how true this is. None of the Gibsons we are buying or have bought in the last 30 years are going to be worth what the early 57-59's are fetching. Even those aren't pulling what they used to. There are no more "investment " guitars. Unless of course you have a half million laying around along with 20-30 more years to sit on it. Even then there are no guarantees you'll even get your original purchase price back.
I've had this argument with guys about buying Gibson. They'll argue about how their guitar will be worth 6 digits in 20 years. I hate to burst their bubble but nothing Gibson or Fender puts out is going to be worth that ever again.
it does seem to be a argument that only Gibson and fender guys believe to be true.
not all of them mind you but a great many. I like both guitar companies and think they
make some nice stuff, but you don't find investors suggesting you stock up on guitars.
hell even guitar collectors will not tell you that. thing is though, that's what Gibson and fender want
you to believe, that their stuff gets more valuable with time. if that was the case, why the hell don't they
hold onto them themselves lol.
