I don’t know about the "collectability" of it, but would assume that as it is a "special edition" of the spd-16 series that would only help, but it should defintely hold it’s value if kept in great condition, so if it dosen’t work you shouldn’t be out much… if anything, and depending on the price you get it for you might make a couple of bucks. : I am thinking of buying a Martin SPD16K2, does anyone think they may become a collectors item? : The reason I ask is that I have been searching for that special guitar and don’t want to loose too much money if this guitar dosen’t manage to forge a permanent place in my music life.
