Having seen all my savings perform miserably (tied up in shares that have effectively only broken-even over several years of holding) I wondered the other day if putting that money into a Collectible Guitar wouldn't be a better investment? It would be a way to save money but also enjoy the guitar too. It's not big bucks, so Vintage guitars out of scope.
I'm curious as to what models people would speculate might offer any return on investment, and what that has looked like historically. How much appreciation have we seen on the Collectors Choice guitars? Do the R8s and R9s appreciate? Or always remain below original RRP? What about the Murphy Labs guitars? Or any regular Custom Shop Les Pauls? How have the Slash Sigs performed?
Post mainly for discussion. My gut feeling is there isn't any significant appreciation on this stuff without very long term investment.
