[QUOTE="Julia, post: 119512, member: 1784"] Don't expect a quick sale. That's all I can tell you. Stuff will sell but it will take a while for the right buyer to come along. It all depends upon condition. If you buy a collector guitar like a Gibson custom shop or a PRS custom shop, and intend to some day sell it for a decent price, leave the thing in the case, never play it. Buy an Epiphone, change the pickups out, and play the hell out of that. You want no marks on your custom shop. It's like a used piano. A used Steinway drops 50% in value if it's played regularly by your average musician. But if it's owned by a famous person and played by them and has the paperwork to prove it? It appreciates in value. Buy a Steinway, upgrade it to make it perform better, it lowers the value. Go figure, but that's the rule. Original equipment even if it is lesser quality. [/QUOTE]
