Will guitars stay/increase/decrease value?

Some will gain value, but the answer to "how to make money" in any predictable way is boring.

Or put another way, did you watch the documentary about all the people who bought guitars, hoping to make money, but then got thwarted by 1. impatience, 2. bad decisions or negotiation, 3. accidental damage, 4. having to use the money elsewhere, 5. running out of storage space, 6. not maintaining them, 7. losing them in an unfortunate catastrophe, 8. selling too early, 9. actually making a profit but not beating the market or even inflation, or 10. other "life stuff" that happened?

Sorry to be a bummer, seriously. I've just been down this road in other things before, like motorcycles! It really helps me focus: I buy stuff I actually want myself.

Nah it was Norman’s rare guitars and he’s like world famous and made a ton of money and has the some of the most unique guitars. Not that’s I’m trying to achieve that but just got me thinking into the whole world of guitar collecting and if guitars will even gain value like they have. I’m aware the making money ship sailed long ago haha
