You can look at it like that. The problem is still that there are way too many of them. With many people paying vastly different sums for the same guitars. I'm sure there have been people who have paid full MSRP. Then there are poeple who have gotten a considerable discount.

I bet in a year or so, you will still be able to find these sitting at dealers. What does that do to the secondary market, if there is a surplus of them?

You know what your gonna see, is the day after something happens to Eddie,200+ of these pop up on Ebay. Wow there goes your investment. Which let's be honest, is what people are buying these for. Yes there are few "die hard" fans who must have whatever bares his name, but the majority are waiting to cash in.

At those prices, those who really had to have one, already have one. There isn't going to be anyone to take there place, as time goes on and the fans get older and older.

Heck... you can still find the 25th Anniversary FMT Charvel and they were priced at $2999.
At $25K try YEARS.
Guitar companies should make guitars, piano companies should make pianos and Thomas KinKade should make artwork or whatever the hell he does with light painting.

Good points! The whole idea of brand new collector's pieces has always baffled me, but Fender & Gibson sure have figured out how to make a killing at it. We have instant everything else, so I guess we need instant collectibles. Maybe I'm old-fashioned, but I like the idea of letting the passage of time and increased demand by real people decide what's collectible.

Interesting vid. But I couldn't take the fact that the filmmaker knew so little not only about guitars, but he had little common sense.

EVH: "It was a factory second."

Film guy: "I was just raw, stacked piece of wood, eh?"

EVH: "err, umm.."

They are already popping on the used gear for sale section of other boards.
$20k!!

More than dealers have offered it to me.

Not sure if I mentioned this already, but I have Franky's if anyone is interested.

My Guitar Center claimed that they were all sold out.

With these, why buy one to play and one to keep if you have the money? You could ding it and no one would notice

it would probably add to the value if you dinged it!
