Value in the used market

[Bruno]

Without prejudice, I trust in your intelligence and honesty. I should like to ask you straight up: in your opinion which of these three guitars Charvel San Dimas MIJ, Suhr Rasmus M200 [Floyd rose], Warmoth quilt/alder HH [w/Floyd Rose] has more value in the used market? A friend of mine wants to buy one of three but he asked me if I knew which (he often buys and sells soon).


p.s:
I've tried (simulation of sale) and real feedback that I had left me very puzzled

I'd guess the Suhr has the most aftermarket appeal.  Pretty boutique-y, if you know what I mean.  The Warmoth is likely to be viewed as a parts guitar, and have no real appeal outside a very narrow audience.  The Charvel is more of a mass-produced commodity, so less rare and thus less valuable than the Suhr.

This is true to an extent. While the Rasmus is more boutique that would make it more difficult to sell unless its someone "in the know". And let's face it if guitar buyers were truely in the know the big companies would be out of business. So mass produced=mass appeal. If you have a product to sell its best to have the biggest market to sell to unless your willing to wait for the right buyer. Something else to consider is the Rasmus is still a second hand import guitar. Yes it goes to Cali and get love from John and the gang but the minute the owner changes string gauge sets saddle height or tweaks the truss rod the "set up by Suhr" mojo is gone. Keep in mind my comments are only based on the situation at hand. Maybe if the guy builds a Warmoth he will quit wanting to sell off his guitars.

Maybe I would have said the same things.
However, the guitar more required has Charvel San Dimas (MIJ)! Price (new brand) 650/700euro, used... someone offered 400euro immediately!
Rasmus M200 (990Euro), used... 600euro: nobody has asked it 500euro: idem.
400euro: only one but very affected
Warmoth is too disadvantaged by the change, ups shipping, duty, etc..  because I don't found others reasons: no request

(I haven't charvel or rasmus, but I have a incredible warmoth - mahogany/flame koa+pauferro neck. For me is an amazing guitar. Just my Suhr classic custom is comparable. Perhaps it seems too personal? I don't know... I'm very very surprised)
