how the hell does the average person know what is a fair price point when prices are all over the place.
david pym has the exact same guitar as I have. A 1972 Gretsch country gentlemen in the same condition. He's wanting £3500
i quite honestly don't think I'd get 1200 if I listed it private.
Your mileage may vary.
I do hope this guitar here is seen for what it is. A totally legit guitar from a trusted seller and at a price not far off buying new. Of course, it's a lot of money and you don't hand over that amount without doing your homework. It's one of the few areas left in guitar buying at least where you can CHOOSE if you prefer vintage or New. Can't exactly do that with a 60s Strat or late 50s Les Paul.
This one is a cool guitar in my opinion. Just as cool as whatever axe one decides is for them. Buy, play and enjoy what you like.

That's ok as long as people paying a premium know there are n when/if they sell it they could loose a shed load of money.
If you 'really' want to lose money, try buying a new car, a new Anderson/Suhr/PRS or an iPhone....
If you buy a classic - as long as you know what you're doing - you won't go too far wrong with a vintage guitar.
Absolute tosh saying you'll lose money. Buy wisely and you'll never lose. The goldrush has gone so your £150 LP Deluxes back in '84 won't be making you half a mil in 2025 but invest time and effort and a good vintage but will stand you in good stead.
And for some folk paying over the odds for a known certainty suits them. No one is being forced to hand over the cash. As others have said, walk out of any high street guitar emporium with a new CS Strat or Les Paul then see how much it's worth a few weeks later
I say that with no detriment being placed on New guitars either. As I've said, buy what you love and enjoy

As @jimmyguitar @richardhomer & @shugz say, buy 'em right, enjoy them and you'll not loose money.
Any fool can go into *Insert vintage dealer here* and pay through the nose for a guitar. It's the research and the thrill of the chase/bartering that is half the fun for me.

Wasn't having a go sir, maybe I'm just a bit more 'tuned up' when oldies mentioned on here. No offence meant if you took it that way.

N for the record I wasn't bashing vintage guitars.

A bad 335 is REALLY bad though in my experience.
Congratulations
