Jim Reed guitars have no re-sale value. The top end models go for around £120 on ebay and are generally in innac condition.
They make them for the momey because the build quailty is suspect. I have had over 5 of these guitars in my shop and they all had problems with badly routed Pickup and Neck pockets. Most of them had poor finish and needed a lot of setting up.
I suspect the bodys are bought in from the far east because they have swimming pool routing which is a sign of cheap production.
A decent far east strat copy will be better made.
