I know. I got this when the 594 was only available as a private stock guitar. It was listed as "B-stock" due to a tiny blemish on its back.

I low-balled them with a 40% discount expecting them to decline, but they accepted. A little bit of delicate buffing, and the "blemish" is no longer visible and I saved almost $5000.

Amazing!!


Gotta love the depreciation of cores on the second hand market!! :rofl

Buying a new guitar as an "investment" is a pipedream. I believe that only 2 of the guitars in my collection are worth more now than when I purchased them (PRS Reclaimed Vela Semi-hollow & Steinberger GM7TA), and I play the $#!+ out of them.

Yeah once a guitar comes into my possession it’s done-zo…. Hence why I only stick to lifers at this point lol!

That’s a heavy relic for a private stock.🤣

It really depends on what you are buying and how you take care of it. Gibson guitars tend to do pretty well at holding their value. I have seen some Fender guitars do decent. Some PRS guitars have done pretty well. It also depends on how long you hold on to them.

Gibsons do definitely hold their value great…. If I did ever want to sell my standard I’m sure I could probably get “standard” prices (which I will never sell it regardless)

But I was thinking recently…. Damn I’ve played the shit out of this thing. It is really “player grade” :rofl

No significant damage but it’s definitely got no shortage of scars. Probably more forgiving on the used Gibson market than the used PRS market tho lol
