Dig! Love that Little Sister

She always tries harder.

Rumor says its going to be sold to the Chinese group. It's investors run company. Same **** as Gibson where the biz model is just to recycle past history.

That is what I heard.
As for Gibson, all my Gibsons are 2023 or 2024, they are the best of any I have ever owned, so maybe there is hope for Marshall.

That amp blow me away every time I plug in to it.

I love Marshall, but it is a tough business. So many amp manufacturers and only so much business to go around. I do a lot of studio work, so I want my amps to be particular and niche. For instance, the jcm 900 has a very particular thing I do with it in 90s style alt rock tracks.

Yeah, Gibson is as good as they've ever been. They've raised the prices but they are working hard to deliver cool guitars.

If you like Marshall, there are so many Boutique amps that do the Marshall sound, but even better, so it will never be an issue getting the tone we love.

Prices definitely have went up, a Standard 50s was $2299 a few years ago and now they are $2799, that is significant.

Oh for sure. I remember in college oggling the brand new SG that was $800, and out of my price range. Now that particular model goes for like $2200 used. It's general inflation as well as corporate greed. I'm sure the inputs on a guitar have risen dramatically as well.

I blame Covid...
Companies said they needed to temporarily raise prices due to shipping, etc...
Once everybody saw you were willing to pay more for things, why would they lower the prices back to where they were?

Back to the title of the thread.

Of all the PRS guitars I’ve owned, including a stunning 513 Brazilian, none could match the versatility of my Custom.

Whale Blue with Moons, 10-top, 2nd generation T&Bs, sweet switch. 1988 Serial number on the headstock, ‘87 in the pickup cavity.

You definitely can use it for many different styles of music.
Years ago I entered the Guitar Center King Of Blues Contest and went to the local semi-finals using a PRS Custom 24 Navarro.[/MEDIA]

I love the versatility of the Custom 24, plus the whammy bar allows you to stay in tune. ITs a lighter guitar, great access to the higher frets and many of the colors look amazing.

Mine is fairly heavy at 8lbs 2oz and is not a 10 top, not a great looking guitar, but it does its job.

Speaking of prices rising.... yikes on a good PRS these days. 5 grand? yowza

I blame capitalism and free market. However with the current trade developments, prices might go down


Oh wait.

Prices on everything is way up and it is all due to Covid.
Companies were saying they were just raising prices due to increased cost of shipping and other factors, but they would lower the prices once everything came back to normal.

Let's be serious, once companies saw you were willing to pay more or something, why would they lower the prices?

But isnt that free market at its finest: supply and demand combined with maximalsation of profits?

I dont blame them. Regret it from the perspective of my wallet, but blaming COVID is the same as blaming the moon for causing a flood because it affects the tides.

If we are willing to pay the prices then that is the market value.
If people get to the point they won't pay those prices for luxury and non-necessity items the prices will come down.

I paid $4,200 for my Custom 24 last year when they had a Black Friday sale. I just purchased the standard version as the 10 top were way out of my price range. Thankfully the top on my guitar is beautiful.

Great guitars as long as you are not planning on selling it.

The used market is soft on these, I tried to sell mine for $1900 and the best offer I got was $1500 or $1600.
I was not going to let an amazing guitar get away for those types of numbers.
