There also is a robust market for used guitars. One can buy a mint 90s Gibson guitar for half of what a new one would cost now and the quality will be much better. I have fifteen guitars and have only bought one of them, a Larrivee acoustic, new.
You have 15 guitars?
Wow. Either you are a professional performer, have been at one time, or just enjoy getting to know the capabilities of each instrument.

I wouldn’t even consider buying a new guitar when the older ones are of much finer quality than most of today’s brands.
Only 15? Think I’m up to 30 or 31 now... GAS is a heck of a disease. On the other hand, one can never have too many guns or guitars. Bought a Jap 6120 and a Sherwood Green ‘62 Custom Tele reissue new. Oldest is a 27 Martin O-28, newest is my working axe, a recent (ca 2011?) ‘64 reissue Jazz Bass.
