[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 98371, member: 597"] Funny how we all think..........A fully resorted car, or bike..........matching numbers all the correct parts used and so on, All nice and shinny like new, and worth lots of money.............You do the same thing to an early Fender or Gibson guitar with a known and significant history............say a Strat owned and played by Jimmy Hendrix with loads of ware and tare, buckle marks on the back, fret's worn down and the odd chip and ding from playing.................and you have de-valued it by a huge amount. Perhaps that's why the Ehret Lightning sold for so much because its history was retained, well visually anyway............Obviously a guitar is a lot more personal item than a bike or car, a bit like a well worn tool that we use over and over. Like some of the tools I inherited from my grandfather...................:) [/QUOTE]
