Naturally, but I doubt there are any risk free investments in the guitar sector. Someone else would have bought then all already....
Better still, that with an artist connection
eg Joe Walsh ‘60 replica aged by Tom, signed by Joe
Otherwise I agree with the ES-335 people - they're better than Les Paul for everything except standing in the mirror pretending to be Jimmy Page
I think owning a 50s les paul has become a status symbol and the prices reflect that ...a good R8 with boutique pick ups and good wiring loom will be in the same ballpark as a 50s les paul
All the cork sniffers about wood drying out ,pick ups ageing,mojo etc ..snake oil...
I would love a blindfold test of a 50s les paul against a good R8 with a good set of pick ups fitted.
Couple of years ago I bought a 1965 SG special all original for 5k. It’s probably worth 5.5k today but in between I’ve been playing it loads and I don’t care if it appreciates it’s a great guitar.
If you also factor in the money I spent flipping and being financially conservative in the meantime it begins to look like a comedy of errors. On the plus side I learnt a lot and it has kept me amused
