I've been a strat & tele man for more than 40 years but after digging into tsome Lynyrd Skynyrd, I realize there's a lot to be said for good humbucker type guitars, and rosewood too! I am really enthusiastic about getting an explorer. My question is, "Which one?" I LOVE Skynyrd, if that helps. I'd like one that will retain it's value pretty decently, and sound good. Scratches and dings aren't a big deal to me, and color isn't either. The price range on them is pretty extreme, so any guidance would be appreciated.

Good morning!
HOPEFULLY This is not too general a question...I've been smitten with a Gibson bug ever since seeing Skynyrd live recently. LOVE to own an authentic Explorer, SG and Les Paul. If I were to seek out one of each, and wanted to own models that sound great AND will hold (or increase) their value, what are some examples of models and years I might look for? I know the sky's the limit, so let's say "reasonable" like $3,000 upper limit (suggested only...if you know a "must have" that's 5K neighborhood I'd consider it)
Added thoughts: I know as far as Explorer's I'd probably want korina wood right? I do have an opp to buy a 2014 anniversary SG all original for $680 with hardshell case. These seem to run about $700 (no case) online though...is that model really anything "special"?
