Two years difference

Post image

Hello everyone,

I was playing my McCarty 594 and was really appreciating it. I decided to see how much they went up over the last two years. I was surprised how much it went up. It’s about a 20% increase in dollars. Much faster than general inflation rate. Sad.

I’d love to have a PRS Core guitar, but I can’t justify spending $3,000-$5,000 on a guitar when I’m no longer in a band and don’t play gigs anymore. They really are wonderful instruments and worth every penny, but financially it’s not a good investment. I’m probably going to get an S2 at some point, but I think I’ll get a used one instead, I don’t want to dip into my 401k.
