What's your thoughts?

Well, here I am again at the keyboard again while waiting on a customers call so we can go over a guitar and I was thinking.....I can't see as to how todays made guitars will be collectable anytime soon;I mean this relic bandwagon has ran its gammit ,ever since The big co. quit using V.Cunetto that is.So his reliced guitars will be collectable,hmmm maybe the super strats,the early 85 reissues ,those funky push button Elites,early custom shop stuff and brazilian boarded guitars.But the run of the mill guitars cranked out everyday? nah,I just dont see it ,well that is not for 50 plus years anyways.And the reissue bandwagon ,well come on who's fooling who here?So for guy and gals that dig guitars and are trying to snatch a few collectible guitars in our lifetime to turn back into the economy in 10.20.30.years.....Welllllll see the above and visit my website! thats right look at what I invest my money in and  that may help you define your search a little or at least help you to explore the possibilities.I firmly believe that the vintage acoustic market has played second long enough ,lots of great guitars with Brazilian rosewood on 'em and I feel they are way under valued,Don't believe me? Wait and see.Those 70 model gibsons and the great Grammer guitars ....bam they will hit ,I feel people are tired of the way prices are right now on electrics that everyone has,so think outside the box,go for the obscure ,the funky as long as it is built well and plays well ,a solid guitar that is vintage could be less than you expect.Well enough ramblin from ol Greg,till next time may all your days be sunny and all your riffs be killer.....www.gregsguitars.net

      I personally store my guitars in their cases, with my guitar that I play most often ( 3 - 4 times a week ) completely intune , for long term storage  I leave some, but not all tension on the strings, I would say approx. 2 steps down tuned . As always store your guitars indoors , away from drastic changes in the temp. , My rule of thumb is , if you are comfortable so are your guitars, Thanks for asking , Best regards Greg at Greg's guitars.
