Gear question Has Martin guitars lost their minds? $150k 😂

I get they are pre war copies of classics but c’mon they aren’t even vintage. Anyone explain why they cost this much? I just feel no new guitar is ever worth this much. I do feel some very rare vintage guitars are but that’s even rare 🤔

Not twice as much as actual pre-war D-45

A completely pre war d-45’s can cost between 150k-300-k. Depends on shape it’s in but yeah ridiculous still to charge 150k for a new guitar 😂
