Probably not one of these.
Although I think they're great!
What current production gear will be fawned and drooled over in 40 years? What will be the next '59 LP, Plexi, or Blackface Twin? This isn't exclusive to current boutique gear, and doesn't have to be a specific axe or amp........but feel free to to put them in.
My vision:
Guitars: I think there will be a Larivee (sp?) or Taylor in the group. Gibson is sure to have a guitar or two included.
Amps: Tough one.....................Germino will have an amp or two (no, it's not personal bias ). I can see a Mesa in there. Vox is a contender, also.
What says The Fretters?

Guitars: I´ve said it before, a vintage Hello Kitty strat will be worth a truckload of money in the future.
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
I've always said that the Squier 51 will be the equivalent of Danelectro's U2 in the future.
Play your guitar daily!
Add a Bad Monkey with that Squier 51 for the Mid 2000 sound when the year 3000 rolls around...

By definition anything over 21 years old becomes "VINTAGE" , but what will be collectable is the question ... the early PRS stuff will appreciate in value for certain , some of the Fender custom shop stuff , some of the Gibson custom shop pieces .. Some of the Japanese guitars made over the past 25 years may have some collectability, especially the early MIJ era Fenders , lawsuit era Tokais, ibanez's ,which realy were great instruments and have developed a considerable following and have steadily increased in price over the last couple of years
Amp wise there are so many great boutique amps out there but few of them are original designs, most are copys of early Marshall or Fender designs right down to the cabinets and grill cloth , you seen one you seen em all , but a Bogner will probably hold it s value as will a Cornford, Matchless or Soldano.
but i think they will have invented time travell in another 30 years and all you will have to do is dial up 1958 and drop in to your favourite music store and get yourself a Fender tweed bassman , tele or strat and a 58 burst , so who needs to worry about putting things away for the future , play the hell outta them now I say, tomorrow will take care of its self ... 6S9L

Nigel Tufnel: That's just nitpicking, isn't it?
that fender Baja Telecaster seems to be a good option:

LOL! Unlike the "days of yore", there is a glut of gear on the market these days. It will be interesting to see what makes the cut as tomorrow's sought after vintage.Originally Posted by 6STRINGS 9LIVES

my thoughts are the hurdy-gurdy will be priceless, heck, just try to find one now.

If you really want toknow, just look at whats readily availabe and very popular but still too expensive for young musicians or very limited production.
Sure Mrtins, Gibson accoustics and Laravee's will continue to go up but the Fender Sigs look like a probable collectable, along with botique pedals, tube amps, some Gibby's, early Deans, and whatever the metal heads and shredder heros are playing. Just ask the HS kids what they'd like to have right now.
Sure guys are collection the custom shop axes but those are collectable already. It's the really nice but dead-common stuff that'll bring the bucks.
Do you remember when used Corvetts were just 'used cars'? When guys bought Martin D-18 because they couldnt afford a D-28? When old tube amps were just 'old amps'? Have you noticed that, now that most of the really good 60's Fenders and Gibsons are bought up, that even the " Bad Years" 70's guitars are going up in price?
Keep a weather eye on the Masterbuilt Epiphone accoustics. Theyre great guitars and I think that they'll become increasingly sought after as the years go by and time takes it's toll.
Buy a John Mayer Strat or EJ Strat and store it under the bed for a couple decades! They're selling those axes in PARTS on Ebay! Loll!! :
The 80's Fender II amp series will be worth its weight in gold, also vintage Garnets and Traynors.
Holy thread resurrection, Batman!
Of course, I never replied in the first place so I will now. I'd guess that as my generation gets older, some of the old Kramers, etc., might appreciate in value assuming any of them survived the 80s. I'd think that San Dimas Charvels would fall into that category as well.
Axen: Jackson DK2M, Fender Deluxe Nashville Telecaster, Reverend Warhawk 390, Taylor 914ce, ESP LTD Surveyor-414
Amphen: Jet City JCA22H and JCA12S cab, Carvin X-60 combo, Acoustic B20
Effecten: "Thesis 96" Overdrive/Boost (aka DVM OD2), Hardwire DL-8 Digital Delay/Looper, DigiTech Polara Reverb, DigiTech EX-7 Expression Factory and CF-7 Chorus Factory, Danelectro CF-1 Cool Cat Fuzz

Those are the Paul Rivera designed amps, right? They are great for the money.The 80's Fender II amp series will be worth its weight in gold, also vintage Garnets and Traynors.
Considering how expensive the reissues are I'd say your right.I'd think that San Dimas Charvels would fall into that category as well.

Ya the Fender II series was designed by Paul Rivera and Ed Jahns. Theres a great webpage about the Fender Princeton II.
