But USA made Tylers will only be getting more expensive. "Pre retirement"... Wait for it.....
As far as classic... With everything attempting to mimic a 'classic' aesthetic right now, I think its only the truly classic that will ultimately remain so. I'd like to think some the cool, unique builds available to us will become classics, but it seems that unless they are tied to a particular artist, and have stayed enough to have evolved over several years, thus having 'generations', they will never be widely available enough to be used enough to become 'classics'...
My bet would then be on some of the artist signature models we're seeing, esp. first generation - those that are classic-based, somewhat classic brand made, but yet represent specs particular to those models - and thus, particular to players' wants and needs.
The Ibanez Fireman, for example, fits that bill. I'm not up on all the signature models out there, because I bury my head in the sand too often, but... The guitars that, within the market have their own particular market and reputation. And more importantly, are sought after by said players, moreso than flippers...
The Jem, another one. But already a classic, que' no? The N4. The Eric Johnsons. The Robert Crays, even. These are all but a step away from production models, and although limited, all have reaped the rewards of the marketing and production and pedigree that comes attached to 'classic' companies. That one step is enough for players to have heard of them, and the specs are enough for players to put in the effort to then seek them out.
My favoured response to this question remains the Teuffel Birdfish and the original Gittler, alongside 50s and 60s Fenders and Gibsons…though Gibson’s custom runs do seem to hold value - things like the Elliot Easton and Skunk Baxter Firebird and the Collectors edition LPs (the replicas of famous owner guitars, whatever the name was).
There’s just so many modern guitars made now it’s hard to think any of them will become sought after.
As a spotty youth I would never have dreamed it was possible, or would be possible, to buy a Gibson unobtanium in the UK, from a seller in Australia.
But that Bradford Beach Blue is a great colour...
The made in Japan Jackson dinky can still be picked up at a super price and they are really great .
japanes malmsteen strats are now more than the 675 I payed around 06 -08
And I'm a big RG fan - There are many more talented guitar players around then JW - But many of these will never have the same acclaim/buzz/hype from the masses that the likes that JW can bring to the table
Influences are often not about talent, or talent alone - Oasis proved that with the hype that they created for Epiphone - NG is not a crap player, but he is hardly wow - But he is mighty influential to many

I'm not including the CNC making mob like Huber's etc, they're not small and boutique
(formerly customkits)
I'm thinking of the Courtney love Venus, blink 182 guitars, hello kitty strat and noel Gallagher epiphones.
If I were to put money on them I'd go for a jeff beck strat, Jimmy page tele or lester and the Avril telecaster.
With the exception of the hello kitty strat (which I think is a meme thing) it tends to be signature guitars of well known musicians. Just not a les paul (apart from a Jimmy page) or a generic strat.
Some guitar pedals seem to sky rocket as well, sometimes
ones that really were not great to start with. I don't mean Klons but thinks like a Miku for example
