Once again, it's time for the FNGT!

If you don't know how this works, . That link will take you to another site to give you some additional information and tell you about some of our off-site features. That's also the site where we will host the weekly guitar threads, should Poal go down.

NOTE: That site is by invitation only. If you want an invite, and you're a regular participant, then just ask theBuddha, or myself.

If you do know what's going on, you probably don't need to click that link - but you may want to, to make sure you know of the other features, such as the archive or a separate forum that's invite only.

Remember, we are guests here on Poal. Let's act like it. If you're interested in supporting Poal, then .

It's pure luck, in a way. I took what was made available to me - in the era that these guitars existed. So, some of 'em are quite special.

I have some Martin examples that might only break even on the open market, but I regret nothing. All told, the examples I do have counter those that didn't keep their value.

At the same time, it has LONG been known that a Gibson Les Paul is an EXCELLENT store of value. If you buy a $2500 Les Paul, it's worth at least that much. If you change your mind and sell it six months later, it's worth at least that much. That's the Les Paul world.

Well I don't think any of them went from $80 grand to $500, so there's that!

LOL It seemed like everyone I knew had a Wyld guitar at the time. Hell, I even gigged mine. That may take a few bucks off the value, due to strap wear, pick scratches, etc...

I did buy some stuff because I knew it'd be valuable, but I bought what I bought largely 'cause it was available, useful, valuable, and likely to retain some value - even if just historically.

To me, if it plays good and sounds good, then its a good guitar. I dont put much stock in to what collectors think, they dont play 'em!
