Bigsby Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 If you want one of these you better move fast, they only make a couple of hundred of these "Guitars of the Week". I'm going to stick my neck out and predict that this one will be something of a collectors item and will go up in value considerably.

Bigsby Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 The thing is, I know how these things work, and even if they release it as a regular production model afterwards, everyone will be going on about how the new ones aren't as good as the guitar of the week ones, so these are bound to go up in value.

It's not that they are viewed as not being as good, but, however, they (the guitar of the week versions) will be more valuable from a resale point of view simply because they are limited edition.
