Honestly, I don’t understand it. I mean, they’re great guitars for sure, and they do sound way better than new ones… but, tens of thousands of dollars better? I dunno.
For decades I played the white Stratocaster, because that’s the color Jimi Hendrix played. The blue one pretty much lived in its case for decades because the color was in my opinion, uncool. I brought it out recently and people flipped for it, said the color was very cool so, now I play that too.
