You are talking about 2 different things. What the true value of a Conde - or any guitar for that matter - is a much discussed topic here. The links you provided are evidence of that. But how and why people own thousands of dollars worth of guitars is a different subject. Obviously, personal finance is the ultimate reason, but as someone who files taxes as a professional musician, I can say that it's much easier to justify expensive guitars because they are legitimate tax write offs. If you make $40k. p. year let's say, and you spend $5k on a guitar, you owe taxes on $35k. Keep adding up other deductions, and before you know it, your taxable income is MUCH lower than your gross. You just have to be diligent and saavy about tax law.
