  1. Thanks again folks for comments/opinions... I've seen the JB YouTube stuff and there was also a nice article recently in the Fretboard Journal about him... and yeah, I am a "fan" of JB, I enjoy his music both just listening and playing several of his tunes, albeit not in the JB finger style but my personal flat pickin style. My strength, if indeed I have a strength, is my sense of rhythm, a carryover from my earlier days as a drummer I guess.... nonetheless, in spirit of sharing info, here are the model A sales I've been tracking from ebay, each one sold is in chronological order, so it's kinda going the "wrong" direction for me! Oh, like I said before, all of them appeared to be in excellent to "like new" condition, so I don't perceive the price differences to be driven by condition... Jackson Browne Gibson Model A New price $5,999 % of New $ ebay sold price $4,101 - 68.4% ebay sold price $4,350 - 72.5% ebay sold price $4,999 - 83.3%
  2. So, my fears are confirmed... now the only question I need to answer is the premium I'll have to pay worth it? Appreciate the responses folks....
  3. I've been watching ebay and other sites to see how many and at what price these guitars would become available for sale. For the sake of playing as opposed to collecting. I know price is very much dependent on condition but, most of the used guitars I've seen appear to in the excellent to "like new" condition. My personally imposed threshold for a decent deal is 60% of new price... none of the model A guitars sold to date on ebay approach that threshold... so opinions would be appreciated relative to the future of this model... is it just a mater of time before they'll be more plentiful at a more reasonable price? Is this model destined to be a limited production situation and hold their price point? And, a different question: Is my expectation of reasonable really not reasonable?
