Modern Eagle 1 Color

[Louisguitar]

Hi all,
What, in your opinion, is the most sought after color, with the greatest collectible value for the Modern Eagle 1?
Is it worth more with trem or without it?

Best

With a market that small, it all depends on what the individual buyer likes.

Who cares? These are tools. The one that sounds the best to your ears is the best.

Faded Blue Jean.


It’s just a fact.

That’s how you know I speak the truth.

Huh.....every day is an education.

I mean, I’m not sayin’ I want one or anything, I’m just answering OP’s question.

Purely from an “investment” POV, a FBJ ME1 is the most desirable color just like an 86 CU24 in VY.

It's because with a little light, the blue fading will be complete.

Agreed that FBJ is the iconic color for an ME1. Whether that gets you more on the market? Hard to say.

And that's one less blue guitar in Sergio's world!

They’ll all be white with clouding one day anyway.

Red faded to natural. Facts

There are no truly safe bets in the recent-era guitar collecting world. Could be that the color they made the fewest of becomes the collectible item.

I believe that color would be Emerald or Natural.

Faded Blue Jean also gets my vote. I seem to remember that color and the solid rosewood neck being the most attention grabbing specs, even if the RP pickups and Modern Eagle headstock inlay also were novel.

 

[bodia]

Yup, FBJ

 

[neonblack]

Red absolutely. Here are my two, ME1 and Quatro that I sold.. but I'm after one too and looking to get me a red.
If anyone is selling any ME inside EU, send me an offer please.

Any form of blue. Blue PRS's objectively sound more gooder.

...and what happens as time passes and one becomes not-blue..?
