Don't want to tick anybody off, but just wanted to get some opinions....
A week or so ago (I don't remember if it was on this forum or on another) somebody stated that all of the different models of Voyager (Performance, Signature, 50th Anniversary, and Electric Blue, not to mention some of the custom combinations ordered by various dealers) had hurt the resale prices of the Voyager.
Now, look at guitars. Fender and Gibson are constantly coming out with different artist models and limited editions. This type of business is what brought Gibson back from the dead, along with improved quality.
Martin constantly offers limited edition Artist Models at prices in the $4000 dollar range, and people buy them. There are lots of guitar collectors out there that snatch this stuff up.
This is, no doubt, the tactic that Moog took when they started offering different versions of the Voyager.
If the above statement is indeed true, why would more models hurt the resale on Moogs, while this type of sales strategy thrives in the guitar market?
Does the average guitar player have more money that the average synth player? I know that guitar players outnumber synth players by a good margin, but still....are synths so time consuming that the guys who own them spend more time playing synths than working at their 9-5?Thanks Bob!!
