Anyone see this becoming collectible? Being Epiphone I find it hard to lay down too much $$$. But is is limited to 100 pieces of the Signed Edition with Hardcase and Leather Strap...

Okay...so looks like the "AAA" Maple is veneer after all. Some reviews are showing poor fit and finish on the inlays...

Yeah....I dunno....set neck....not neck through. If I’m picking up a firebird, I’m gonna be holding out for a good deal on a traditional build I think.

Yea, I'm looking mainly for resale down the road. 100 units signed by Slash with the case and strap. But then again Slash is known for his Les Paul and people are more likely to buy that...

Which brings us back to the question, “is this a good guitar to invest in?”
My reaction is....meh.....maybe? But I buy guitars to play, and enjoy.

$1300 New. I have a local guy with one new in the box for $1000. The unsigned version with no case and no strap is $899 new online...
