Interesting, seems I have a few stocks that blew up last year and somehow I still have my guitars. I would agree that guitars are not great investments, but there are worst places to put your money. They will tend to be a hedge against inflation. Actually making money involve finding what will be appreciated by a future buying public years from now. I am in my late 50's so the old Beatles era guitar have done well. But we will soon be dead and gone what will the younger people really want. Tends to be the heros they grew up with. Two examples I have 1967 J-45 bought for $232 in 1967 new, worth over $2,000 today probably tracked inflation. 1974 gibson les paul 1974 20th anniversary, bought used for $550 15 years ago, maybe $2500 today did good on that one. Cool thing is I can't enjoy and play my stock and bond portfolio.
