    I got respect for eppiphone I have a few and I have gotten deals on used /sales /closeout specials and hope the Oasis Les Paul goes for six figures plus low budget guitar to a great iconic piece of rock history cool back story Noel gave it as a gift to one his friends and now its for sale for what I hope is mega bucks.

    Check out the Tease Guitars ST-2! Remarkable! Most of the affordable guitars offered are hit and miss as far as quality control and most need a set up which defeats the “ affordable “ category when you factor in the $80 cost of a set up. The Tease guitar Strat style needed nothing, even the intonation was dead on all for less than $200!

    Great topic. I break the guitar market into several parts: Entry level, Player/hobby grade, Professional, Collector of modern high end limited releases, and Vintage collectors for those classic guitars. Of course there is bleedover between those buckets and it's somewhat subjective, but I think folks get the general idea. All have different markets and to some extent economic cycles. Like with choosing restaurants, if in the current economy, one feels uncomfortable spending $100-$150 per person at Morton's or Ruth Chris steakhouse, they may choose $50 per person at Outback, Texas Roadhouse or similar. But the person that spends $500 to $1000 for an A5 grade Kobe steak at a world class restaurant probably won't go to Morton's or Ruth Chris. They'll still go to the high end restaurant and simply select a different offering. The economy is relatively easy to figure out on the micro level, but so much more complex on a macro level. All I know is if I see a really good deal on a guitar that I like I'll still get it, but I currently ain't going out of my way looking at the moment. Instead I have shifted my purchases on tool deals from StewMac when they have sales and it seems I've scored good deals on quality parts lately.

    I think inflation is a huge part of it. The latest charts show that non-discretionary items have taken a major hit. With prices so high on most everything, people are only going to spend on the stuff they absolutely need.
