Seriously? Cars are like guitars, they depreciate unless you find that one in a hundred thousand that appreciates. (Like a Burst LP) Houses always a good investment? Tell that to all the people in Florida, California and Arizona...

200g without HEARING/FEELING it? No effing way. I think I need to stay at your house for a couple of days and just play it.
200 Norlins - many of which will play great, or one 59 of unknown quality? GIve me 200 Norlins!

The thing is that if you buy it for 200k and for whatever reason are unhappy you can easily flip it for 200k...maybe more.

GOOD LUCK!
There was a near mint, very late 1958 LP that sold at auction late last year, just before Christmas if I remember correctly but it sold for over 325k and was considered by many to be great deal on such a clean guitar!

I hate to say it but these guitars are just going ot keep on going up in value for a good few years to come.
AS many people have said it's all about supply and demand and the supply is minimal and there are enough people willing to pay the big bucks.
If I was a millionaire would I buy one as an investement... possiblly, but probably not.
If I was a billionaire would I buy one cos I could... no, I'd probably buy a Ferrari.

And I think if you can drop $200K+ on a guitar, you could afford a plane ticket to go to the guitar's location and set up an appointment to see it in person.
This is a market operating in a price bracket FAR above what any of us can see.

Not here around Boston. The only reason why you can get a condo in commute distance for that money now is the housing market collapse.
Chances for a condo and this guitar are about equal. There might be a permanent housing dip or the guitar bubble might burst. Chances are that both go up, though.

What it really needs is a Floyd. And two Invaders. Pink Invaders.
Eh, needs the neck pickup cavity and the extra holes filled and to be painted a nice solid color.

If you truly had a billion dollars, you could buy this guitar, a ferrari, and use the car as a guitar case.

Somebody bought a superman comic book for 1M USD. I figured, 500K USD is a bargain for a real deal 59 burst.

Now I likes ya thinkin
Thing is, I don't like idea of paying big bucks for something just because it's rare.
So a brand new Ferrari may be exclusive, and depreciate rather fast, but what you pay for in the first place is man hours and materials (plus mark up, but you get the basic idea).
A '59 LP is still a lump of mahogany with some maple on top, bit of rose wood, some bits of metal, plastic and wire.
No extra man hours have gone into it in the past forty odd years than a brand new LP has. So you pay for some bit of elusive magic that the '59s have, plus the rarity and the age (lets face, all '50s LPs are worth more than most of us could afford to pay).
Even if I had the money I'd rather pay someone to make me a new guitar rather pay ten times+ as much for something just cos it's old.
