Yes, you are right, great guitars can increase in value over time, like used 02's, 03's, XR's, GS's, 13's 16's tater chips, etc. have been doing for the last teens of years.
But guitars take less time to set up and dial in for top performance...and a few less dollars for uhhh.....sacks of parts.
Allison boats are cult items of the highest order. Even a relatively FNG owner can see that, much less the longer using, wiser ones. I sure can and I've barely been on the pad, much less on the drain plug. Bring a friend, show up at Shasta and pull yer ride from a longer distance than me. Gauntlet down...
