Future Diamonds

So i think we all know about some of the current "old school" diamonds, things like the 80's Tokai's, Levinson Blades, Yamaha SG's, Japanese 90's Ibanez and stuff like that, so whats going to be next?

 I reckon it'll be things like the early Schecter C1's, ESP ltd EC1000's and those Korean Lite Ash Fenders.

Rasmus guitars will be valuable one day- asian construction but the same hardware as the USA Suhr's.

Sassafras

Early Gordon Smiths were bloody excellent but I'm not telling you lot. I want to keep the prices down.

Maynehead

ESPs, not so much LTDs. They've stopped putting ESP on the headstock and switched to E-II instead, which are supposedly made by the same people, but real ESPs will always be more desirable.

These have already shot up in price to buy, because of the trend of people hot-rodding them or turning them into metal machines.

Yup, for single HB affinity strats, they already go for silly money.

Mid 90s US Fenders.

Mark my words, they will soon be 'vintage' and have four figure price tags...

Me either! Wonder where The Siren Song One is now......

I'd probably agree with the lite ash telecasters.
ive had 2 now and they're the only tele I've really liked. The neck is awesome.

Nothing recent that I can think of. If Fender had concluded that the Classic Vibe guitars were too good for the price point - within the first year of production  - and had pulled them....that would have been a prime candidate.

Other than recent guitars...
I think that 50s/Early 60s Gibson Jazz boxes will double in price in the next few years.

I'm not really talking about price or guitars that accumulate value, i'm more into the players guitars!

It's already happening with 80s models so I see no reason why it won't start with the 90s stuff

Maybe the initial runs of the single pickup fender custom shop la cabronita especials?

I think the CVs will easily the attain the status of Silver Series or Protone Squiers. They haven't stopped making them, but they're not that easy to find used (compared to standard Squiers anyway).
