I hate to admit it, but at almost 54 ( I still kind of get off on that? ) <br /><br />Suppose that's the nature of a stock trader though. Even when a stock pans out, you're really pleased w/ your selection, until you see another one that did better! It's the part of us that wonders, What if Roger Tessier had been curator of a different sort all those years ago? It's a futile exercise because overall, there's very little diversification among collections as it is! Take out a smattering of Rick's and the odd Guild, what do you have..?

And the re-fret on scalloped Partscaster I've been toiling over will hopefully provide some form of inspiration? Still, the collector market is huge and seemingly drawing in non-playing 'investors' endlessly mucking things up. When '59 LP's are going for $400,000 U.S, it's gotten completely out of control. ( They're half that now )<br /><br />We found similar peaks in the U.S collector car market but a friend offered that cars typically spike in value approx. 20 years after that male demographic left school. They now have good paying jobs, their kids are grown up and gone and discretionary income gets poured into these 'toys' as they're called here, hoping for BIG payoffs on their vanity purchase. <br /><br />Similarly, I wondered if we haven't seen the end of the "Tulip Bulb Mania" in guitars? So rather than get belly laughs at the expense of some.., wanker, paying as much for 6-strings as a *house*, I was just openly wondering what might fare well down the road? Obviously my Vox dedication hasn't paid off! ( other than that I enjoy them immensely ) Marshall_Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813579074330812057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-272785669886173372013-01-11T15:47:20.434+00:002013-01-11T15:47:20.434+00:00Depends on why you're buying a guitar.

I'm not thinking about how much its going to be worth x years down the line. Leave that to the banker wankers who think a guitar is something to be shut up in a safe rather than an instrument to be played.Gavin Lloyd Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10937598384359522498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-40527124072567128322013-01-11T14:48:04.312+00:002013-01-11T14:48:04.312+00:00Right, like one doesn't have enough finicky St...Right, like one doesn't have enough finicky Strat trems in their life? A bits bucket that seems to grow by the year. The reverse headstock and bullet truss rod speak to different eras, but oddly work. As for the position of the selector switch, even though I have anything but a manic, authoritative strum, the simple fact it's 'there' make it the world's shortest lightning rod.<br /><br />And when you only have (2) knobs ( how confused could you get? ) For better or worse, I've generally viewed guitar like walking someone across a plank. When it's a foot off the ground, no one finds it much of a challenge? But suspend it across two skyscrapers and suddenly the mind conjures a million reasons why it can't be done. Unlike classical music, in most genres, a solo only averages 15 seconds. Not a lot of time to make your case, and NO time to correct errors. IMHO <br /><br />I spoke earlier on my reservations about throwing money at already overpriced collectibles, but could this Series be appropriate for long term investment?

That's why we have a price difference with regards to the Pawn Shop Mustang. Never heard of them being made in China. Are you sure you're not thinking of the Modern Player series? That kind of fits the description of MIC Fender. It's understandable though given that the Marauder and the MP Jaguar are kind of done in the same tradition as these PS models.<br /><br />I honestly wish the new Super-Sonic was hardtail but they pretty much stuck to the original design (only changing the orientation of the neck pickup).Francis Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05746242806896951239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-63821808840441731342013-01-11T10:18:40.947+00:002013-01-11T10:18:40.947+00:00Oh, I like it lots.

However, I do wish they hadn't resorted to a Stratocaster-style tremolo - this would have been a lot more exciting with a Jazzmaster or ever a Mustang-style trem. Also, I hate the position of the pickup selector, I'd be knocking that by accident far too often - and I have to query the presence of a pickup selector in the first place seeing as the guitar has separate volume controls for each pickup (and no tones) - surely pickup selection could be done by using the volume controls alone - as on a Jazz Bass.Gavin Lloyd Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10937598384359522498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734566.post-60621124691425029482013-01-11T10:12:54.815+00:002013-01-11T10:12:54.815+00:00Mexican, eh?
