Will be interesting to see what will happen to old valve amps, as it is slowly getting harder to buy new valves - Less factories now producing valves

If it doesn't appreciate into an expensive relic... you can always play music with it
- PRS guitars made entirely of plastic.
- One Joe Bonamassa signature model for every atom on the surface of the planet.

We’re used to it, but when you think about it it’s quite remarkable that electric guitar design hasn’t really changed in 70 years or so. You can plug a brand new guitar into a decades-old amp, or vice versa, and it’ll work fine. Are there many other areas where you can buy an off-the-shelf product and interface it into a 70 year old product without any thought or problems?
As for what will be worth something something that is tricky to get or something current kids couldn't afford.
My 4 year old was gifted boxes of 80's Lego from a mate who's daughter is off to uni.
Alego obsessed friend came round a picked out on space dude. £30 on eBay for one Lego mini dude because the gold chest is rare.
That's something with no intrinsic value that was rare and clearly people "need" it for a set. Or some other Lego reason.
I've been tempted by the fancy st Vincent guitar as a 40 year investment. Too expensive for millennials, rare now, bit of a fan base. Except they are too expensive for me to make that bet
If in 30 years we haven't got to net zero - we might as well get burying guitars for alien archaeologists...
Who cares what my guitars are worth? I bought them to play and that won't happen when I'm dead.
My regularly update my wife with the value of my klon. She's to pay for my funeral with it.
When my stash of valves run out I'll model my amps with a kemper, or use a frieman ir preamp or hope my nano valves out last me.
I sometimes obsess over overdrive even though I have about 5. And then I'll pick up my gs mini or om28 and actually play the thing. Or I'll play my tele with the stones on YouTube.
1999 built big brand guitars will go nuts in price.
