Jerry,
I have observed a pre-owned Bourgeois often sells for approximately sixty percent or more of it's original new purchase price, and please know there are definite exceptions to this discount amount for wood selection, age, HHG, condition, bindings, torrefication, etc. If you are buying new, you will already take a loss should you elect to resell.
Ask yourself, what do you realistically believe the potential discount below the current discount for a pre-owned Bourgeois due to the potential Eastman impact? Factor that impact into your years of ownership and enjoyment of playing the guitar which may be "the one" to determine that cost.
Presently, we have two Bourgeois OM's, a Slope D, and a SJ, and have no concerns for their resale value, breakeven or lose $, because we have throughly enjoyed them and will continue to do so. Best of luck in your decision...
