[QUOTE=WildBill82;6182648]I don't follow the market for used insanely expensive luthier guitars but, if there is an economic canary in the coal mine, that is where it will most likely announce itself.
I couldn't see paying ten or twenty grand for a guitar that might be worth a fraction of that ten years from now, but that's what makes a market.
This discussion brings up a broader question for me: if there's this huge market for expensive custom stuff, plus the mainstay makers are selling tons of their expensive models, why has the guitar been virtually disappeared from popular music? Quite a disconnect there.[/QUOTE
How many guitars can one of these little shops build in a year? Is it a smaller group who are buying them? Collectors, generally are not the makers .😅 of popular music that is followed by the masses.
