Question Randall Amp

k, well the local store in my area has Dimebag's signature Randall Warhead....now the other guitarist in my band was thinking about grabbing it cause he believes it'll be worth alot more money in like 10 years or so, but he wanted me to let him borrow 500$....and i don't know, he said when he sold it he'd give me more...but i wanted to know do you guys think it'll be worth more money in about 10 years? if no then he might still want it for his own .... in which case do you guys think it's a good amp or no?

i don't like the way they sound... and i doubt it'll be worth much later down the road. maybe if it was played by dime himself and signed... but other than that...

to add to ukfswmart...
Who's to say he doesn't break the amp, or it gets stolen? Will he still give you your $500 if he's got to buy himself a new amp?

Do you trust him enough to let him borrow $500, it kinda seems like one of those Nigerian scams "I have inherited lots of moneys from my late father blah blah blah.... give me $1000 and i give you 5 times more moneys in 10 years!"

No amp is ever worth more in 10 years. Try 40 years if it is kept in outstanding condition then it will be a relic and worth more due to ecomonic inflation as well. I would not loan the money. It isn't an good investment for the purpose of making money. Sorry. I could think of 100 other way to make more money with $500 in 10 years.

Yeah exactly, we're dealing with $500 here, this is not like some, "Hey Johnny, can I borrow like $5, I swear I'll pay it back."

I think the best way to invest in Ran is to give Big D more business :P I just wish I had the money to do so D:

Right, but what does black headstocks that have to do with writing "Ran guitars" on everything in sight with a marker? You don't write Ran Guitars on a guitar that isn't a Ran guitar.
