I think the whole new/as new debate is a little difficult with guitars as they are usually played in the shop and then sold as new, and that's before you get customer returns that get resold as new.

Murky waters.

Exactly - they're not in sealed packaging...

Customer returns definitely make life harder, but we'd still accept a car that had been test driven as new.

Not sticking a stake in the ground (genuinely find this a difficult one to pin down), but I'm not sure the car analogy works for me.

I thought test drive cars are usually sold at a discount to reflect the 'use'? Not sure what it would say on the log book mind.

Edit: actually not sure if this is indeed the case. I've only bought 1 new car and I can't remember if we tested that one or a demonstrator prior to buying

The car analogy doesn't work, I'd stick to guitars

Well alright, let's go back to - if something has already been sold then by definition it's not brand new

That's a ridiculously good price on the Classics. Weren't they £1600ish? Who's going to buy a 2019 Standard at £2800 when the 2018s are being sold at these prices?

I know right. You could  just keep on spending at this rate. Even I’m tempted now

I wonder what else is coming down the tracks.

I don't get the fuss over new vs used on this thread. Surely it's up to the buyer and seller to agree on a price and that's that? 

Not that it matters to me. My R8 is a lifer.

So far we have now discussed loads of topics in this thread.

If it carries on like this it's going to need its own subsections

Stonking price if you like skinny necks. Love the look of those black ones

stunning like a perry burst

That one looks similar to mine.

Agree it's does look very different in different lights.

Some gratuitious shots of mine:

I meant this shot in the sun

I think it's time to post another photo of mine.

I genuinely think it's my favourite ever guitar, and matched with my Marshall SL5 even my wife has commented that it sounds good!
