New PRS owner here.
Sometimes I wonder why the resale value of PRS guitars are lower than fenders and Gibsons. It just doesn't make sense given the workmanship and the wide range of tones it produces.
I could understand that in the 90's, but now after 30 years I would have suspected it would be different because it has a larger client base, wider application and is actually considered - by most - to be third in line in popularity after the two giants (compared to Gretsch, Rickenbacker, Jackson, Musicman or G&L, and all other high end manufacturers).
I've had over twenty guitars over the past few decades, I buy them and trade them for something else or just sell them and buy something different, so I have some knowledge of the used market in many countries (the US and Europe) and the discounted PRS used market - ALTHOUGH GETTING MUCH BETTER - is still a puzzle for me.
Any comments welcome... thanks ...
