Question:
If you're considering selling a Custom Shop Historic Reissue how much of a hit on the price will you take if there's no COA?
And if you're the prospective buyer should you be concerned with a significantly lower resale value if you can't provide a COA with the guitar if you decide at some point to sell?
What is a COA actually worth? I spoke to a salesperson at a well-known Custom Shop store today who said not having a COA should only knock $50 off the value. I disagree and think it's more valuable since Gibson won't issue a replacement. I think it's more like hundreds of dollars.
