He plays a Kay guitar that he's had for years and treasures it, so people now think they are worth something. A guitar can have a lot of personal value, and that can misrepresent resale or MARKET value for the uninformed. I don't know who would put a price like that on there, when you could buy a FAR superior instrument brand new for that price. It's not as though they are collectable or anything...will a Johnson or Stagg bass/guitar be worth hundreds a few decades from now? I don't know, if there is an idiot that will buy it then I guess so lol

Really nice job on the nut, too...
And it's 'vintage', which apparently means that every PoS made in the 1960s and 1970s is now instantly 'valuable'.
I was just talking with our drummer today telling him how he's lucky that drummers seem mostly immune to this foolish vintage craze.

I've been to their shop many times. They are usually overpriced (tag price), but I can't believe they even let this in the shop.
