When I've seen Jay Turser LPs for sale in the UK new, they've been about £200. I'd be pretty brassed off if I'd bought a £200 guitar and couldn't even sell it on for £50. I haven't seen many of the "Sheridan" LPs sell second hand, but those that have sold for a fraction of their new price, which is a lot of depreciation for someone presumably starting out. Personally, seeing some of these sales on Ebay just completely puts me off buying anything new. But in some cases, and in the UK Jay Turser is one such brand, you buy something and can't sell it for anything like what you paid.

I've wondered about some other guitar brands. Everyone oohs and aahs about the FGN Fujigen guitars, but if you tried to sell one, would they hold their value?
