Man, prices are getting crazy these days. They do look cool though.
Idk...

In 2019, the Enchanted Forest was $3500. Its equivalent model today, the Gravity Green is now $4050, and just recently was $3900 earlier this year.

That's a 15% increase over 6 years, or about 2.5% per year. The latte I would buy in 2019 has gone from $4.50 to $7.00. That's insane by comparison! (It's just something I remember the price of, cuz I'd always get one on my way to work.)

And the full Maple top versions have actually been holding steady for a few years. The Spice Melange was $6000 3 years ago, and these new models are still the same price.

Seems to me they're purposely trying to hold the line on the Maple Top models, and letting inflation cut into their profits somewhat. But the lower models are pretty much in line with inflation, as far as I can tell.

I haven't kept tabs on EBMM guitars pricing, so I was unaware that they were asking $6k for the full maple topped models even a few years ago. IMO that's a pretty insane price for a production guitar right now, but three years ago that price would have been even more bonkers. In 2022 I ordered a custom Anderson with a hand picked flamed maple top and it was under $5k.

Yeah, I've always felt their Maple Top guitars were overpriced, compared to their other models. I will own one someday, but from someone who took the depreciation.

There's a great Spice Melange on Reverb for $4300. Someone's taking at least a $1500 hit (or more if they paid retail.)

If I was in a more stable place financially, I'd be all over it.
 
Willcutt Guitars has a new run of 4 JP15's, and 3 have a flame top, and are $3200. The new ones in that same finish are $3750.

And they also recently had a new Smoked Pearl Majesty (was in the same run as the Enchanted Forest) for just over $3k, which never even made it onto their website before it sold.

And Eddie's Guitars will occasionally run a 15% off sale when models haven't moved.

So you can find most any of these for good prices, but you have to be watching.

My Blue Honu I found used for just under $2k, and it was dead mint!
