From what I have found on the subject and reading the site info these new models will carry the Bourgeois name which concerns me a bit as the current om is not cheap, way over 5k and if new ones are floating around at half that next year may be a tough sell.
All procrastination but concerning and making my decision harder, I never make money on a resell and realize depreciation is reality but makes me nervous. Maybe nothing to worry about.
It just may go in the other direction and make the ones that were built when Dana was the owner more valuable. Small shop, attention to detail, quality of woods, quality control, that would be my thinking. But if flipping the guitar is a concern than I would say you are not 100% convinced that guitar is the right guitar in the first place.

Just my 2 cents
