The way I see it, collectors are motivated by either of two reasons: passion, or investment. If your motivation is investment, buy a Custom Shop Fender and hold on to it for 30 yrs. Ibanez and standard Fenders are much less likely to appreciate in value.
If you're driven by passion, then follow your heart. In this case, it's not about which guitar is a "smarter" purchase. It's all about which instruments speak to you.
You might take an analytical look at what styles of guitars you have in your stable now. For example, if they're all solid body (Les Paul, SG, Flying V, Strat, Tele, etc,) then consider a semi-hollow bodied model like an Ibanez Artcore...or Fender Coronado, or possibly a Thinline Telecaster. Or better still, a Gibson 335.
Remember...you can only play one at a time, so to justify your collection, buy a different tool for each job.
Sure you do kid. Might want to hide your previous questions if you want to pull that wool over anyone's eyes, 5 Gibson's my RattsAss, here's a couple of First Acts, Not that you'll find others like them for sale, even if you could afford them. Edit.. I did some searching and this Lola popped up, Most likely a special order as its not appointed as one would expect, Must have been a Metal head as its painted rather than a transparent and all black hardware, and not the usual KA Duo Mag pickups, And at $700 US this could be a steal, But I'm not sure about the GFS pickups, as the KA Duo Mags were only built for the Boston FA jobs, But the Swimming Shark fret board inlay is Boston USA custom shop without a doubt.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
