Pretty crazy once you think about it.... SY bought their Jazzmasters cheap, all of those 80s and early 90s shoegaze bands went into pawn shops and bought their Jazz and Jags cheap, and now all of those guitars are worth more thana couple grand each. Who would have known?

when they bought them though they were 20 year old used guitars, jazz and jags were expensive highend guitars when they were new.
maybe these sy signature ones will be cheap in 30 years so it makes alot of sense
plus with internet+ebay shop owners can usually find out how much something is worth before they slap a price tag on it, which really lowers yr chances of finding some great gear cheap, people can find out about obscure instruments easily now, so what was once "weird guitars that nobody has heard of or wants" 20 years back, are now "cool and rare vintage gear"
