What to do with 2K?

ballmorphsbymike Aug 11, 2008 05:47 PM

Well...the cards have dealt me a raw hand and with an issue with my work I am no longer going to get to go to Daytona..sooo...i have 2k to spend on a snake or snakes...what would you guys suggest?? Morphs I currently have: male womas, male bumblebees, male chocolate, several normal adult females....Give me your 2 cents...or should i save it and wait for maybe the Indy expo in November? Im in TN..no great shows near us....a few small ones..KY and Birmingham...i might give my buddy the 2k with a "to get list" while he is in Daytona and hope he doesn't spend it on liquor!!! LOL!....i was getting ready for Daytona for 5 months..it was going to be my first...but got promoted at work to a new hotel and a NICER salary (to get more snakes with)...so..maybe next year!

When I see posts like this, what I hear is this: "What morph(s) should I buy with my $X to make the most money in a year or two."

I would say, buy what you like to look at. It seems to me you have many males, and no female Morphs. Get some female Morphs.

David is right , you need to work with what you like best , and adding female morphs is always a good idea for the "long haul".. Anthony McCain...

I'd get a smokin' used yet in good shape Gibson Les Paul. Never seen them depreciate : ). It's especially good if you don't play guitar as you can keep it in "mint" condition.

what happens when you cross a pied to a les paul guitar? j/k

do they go up in value?

jrphd Aug 12, 2008 09:59 AM

A pied Les Paul; now that's an idea!
The issue w/ guitars is availability of good wood. It's harder than ever to get a nice piece of flame maple and I can't imagine it'll ever get any better. And for whatever reason, Gibson is able to hold their values better than any other guitar manufacturer. The key is to buy a guitar that shows off a nice flamey top rather than a solid color. Unfortunaetly, 2K ain't gonna buy you that great of a figured top guitar new off the rack.

Financial Disclosure: I am not compensated by nor do I own stock in Gibson. In fact, their craftmenship is less than most boutique guitar co's. They just hold their value.
