$17 G's? Sure not a problem, let me buy a few cases of instant ramen to afford that.

I'm sorry. How much?in the grand scheme of things, this DOES qualify as a slick deal because that's a substantial amount of discount.but bruh. 17 grand for a guitar seems egregious. I totally understand and respect the effort, the craftsmanship, the attention to detail, the pickups, heck, I'll even admit the legacy and heritage. but like, after 6 grand, those things gotta have diminishing returns. admittedly, I sound like (because I am) one of those people who will never afford this category of instrument and so I apologize for the bitterness and envy in my tone. but one could do a lot, with 17Gs

You're right though. Above 6 grand or so you are paying for collectors' value. If it isn't valuable, or if that doesn't matter to you then it makes no sense to pay this much for a guitar.

Maybe this is worth it to someone for the collectors' value. They've done a masterful job of replicating it and making it look old. But, for 17 grand, you could buy an actual 60's-era vintage Les Paul. I'm not a collector but I feel like the real thing would be more special to me. For a replica of anything, that's been made in the last few years, I can't fathom spending any more than some few thousand dollars (granted, not something I'd do anyway though 😅).

Nobody ever got rich investing in shitty Gibson guitars. Rich people may waste their money on them, but they are not an investment the way real estate, art and crypto are.

Even though im guilty of having some silly high end hype guitars myself, I'd argue that the number is actually closer to 2k.
