I see Maderia guitars on eBay periodically, I don't think I ever see one go for more than about $250 tops. Some of these are probably decent guitars. I see them in mahogany, rosewood, maple, 6 and 12 strings, but they never bring more than a couple o' hunnert bucks. When was the last year of production for Maderia? Some time in the eighties?
20 or 25 years(?) after they quite making Maderia, they seem to have a hard time attracting anybodies interest on eBay. Will GAD's suffer the same fate?? They've been making those since about 2003 or 2004. The few that I've looked at are top notch quality and materials, they just have the stigma of being an Asian import. Twenty years from now will be in the same boat as Maderia is now?? Or will they be highly sought after as a beautifully crafted guitar?
What say you, LTGers?? Anyone's crystal ball in working order?
