I understand guitars like LP's and Masterbuilt Fender RI's. $5 or $6K and an original going for $25k to God knows how much on LP's.

I got the new Musicians Friend and they have a Masterbuilt Gretsch Duo Jet for $6k. Really? I see the original late 50's through 60's on the net all the time in the $4k to $6k range.

This isn't the only model, but the first that came to mind.

What's you're thoughts on these RI's that cost more than buying an original.
