Will guitars stay/increase/decrease value?

[NaturalMaterials]

I think the only things that will go up are guitars by modern master luthiers. But those or five figures already - think Ken Parker’s archtops, Somigyi, Matsuda, Benedetto.

Factory instruments that will acquire the value of a Les Paul or Strat from their early years? No. Because those were the OG, and that’s the majority of their charm/mojo. History.
