Unless of course you paid too much for it. In the meantime, a used instrument which is every bit as good used as it is new is not going to lose resale value. If it sounds great now, it will probably only sound better 10 years from now.
Instruments are mostly different from electronics. I have a problem with buying a new guitar. If the thing sounds alive and very open and sustained acoustically, then that will translate over when plugged in. The nueances of a piece of wood can't be changed. You can always change pickups, adjust the action and truss rod, and change amps for what they all contribute to the sound.
I tend to try to find instruments that sound great not plugged in. If you are hunting for a great instrument, you really need to play it and hear what it does. Bottom line is that something off the shelf will either be good, or bad. I think though in the studio you will find them using the regular assortment of high quality, rare find Gibsons and Fenders that have delivered those great tones for years.
Sure, maybe on tour they use it for a song or two, they have to fullfill their contract with the manufacture. These endorsements are meant to ad credibility to the line, but seldom reflect an instrument that is as good as the endorsers instrument was.Īlso, the endorser does not necesarilly play the "endorsed" guitar for anything important. And let's not forget that these supposed "signiture guitars" are not anything near the quality coming off the production line as the one that the "custom shop" made for the endorser.
