PRS Dragon 2002 Review: youtu.be/mGmE6yMB2Yg
PRS Dragon III 1993 Review: youtu.be/R3TXM0qCN4c
Gibson Jimmy Page Les Paul 1995 Review: youtu.be/a5vXqz6G3Og
Gibson Custom Shop Spotlight 2008 Review: youtu.be/r2bfidPOppU
Ibanez JEM 7VWH 1999/2000 Review: youtu.be/D6GlJ3bFx_w
A few years back I looked closely at guitar prices and frankly they were not good to look at if you collected guitars in particular. I was surprised about that. In fact, generally putting money in to guitars was very scary and not the way to go. But in this video I get you right up to date on a few quality collectors and not so collectors guitars - some are clearly regular guitars and others could be classed as collectors pieces, or not depending on your point of view.
So I decided to take another look at prices of used guitars in 2024 and the basic results of my findings will surprise very many guys. Is it really the year of the dragon... or not? Let's find out.
The guitars I review are as follows:
Gibson Jimmy Page Les Paul 1995
PRS Dragon III from 1993
PRS Dragon 2002
Ibanez JEM 7VWH from 1999/2000
Gibson Spotlight Custom Shop from 2008
Overall I discuss the ORIGINAL price I paid and when. I show each years valuation since purchase and 2009, 2011, 2014, 2021 and then 2024 and what loss or gain I made (assuming I sold them today). It is a very sobering thought indeed - and I included inflation and that sort of thing.
Of course, in general except for one guitar I bought them all to play as I'm mainly a playing guitarist, but I do like these guitars and selling them would never be entirely out of the question as I, like most guys who play guitar, are always looking for that tone we never really achieve and that might be a way to finance 'the next one'!
After the discussion of the pricing etc. I then show the PRS Dragon 2002 and discuss a few great features that many people have never seen - and there's a full review of that guitar and others in the links higher up on this page.
Lastly, I took a look at an AI program that promised to create a 'cartoon' style 10 second clip from a video ad that sounded interesting. So I went ahead and created it.
LAUGH? I ROLLED AROUND ON THE FLOOR FROM THE RESULTS PRESENTED TO ME AND THEY ARE INCLUDED AT THE END OF THIS VIDEO - SO PLEASE GO ON AND HAVE A LAUGH - especially when the guitar dragons teeth turn in to fingers :) and start to play the dragons chin!
This video is in 4K
I have spent considerable time creating this video and it remains not sponsored entirely so is a real genuine review analysis and opinion of the gear and indeed of Vintage Guitar Price Guide. It's recommended...
PLEASE SUBSCRIBE, RING THE BELL, AND THUMBS UP to give my channel a boost and thank you for watching - I hope the video is enjoyable for you and that you see the things in it that other reviews NEVER show!.
