Gibsons are one of the resale and collector kings. How many of us here consider that resale value when you look to buy one? How many of us here buy one to play the hell out of it and keep?

I'm of the latter. I buy guitars to play, and play hard. I can count on one hand the number of guitars that I've resold over thirty-odd years of playing. I've never considered resale value on a guitar purchase - if the axe is good, the deal is real. I'm in a working band, and my guitars are tools, albeit well cared for tools.


Does the resale value factor into your purchase choices? Or do you just buy a guitar that you know will deliver the goods for quite a while?
