    Loved the video Mike. Thanks for including 3 of mine in the Top 10. Keep up the great work
  • @petehreid1
    Would love to see this done for Japanese guitars. Seen some amazing hikes on les Paul and strat law suit guitars

    This great information. Thank you. I agree with the guy below who said Coronets are due a run. It will be interesting to see if guitars made in 2022 (which are pretty good esp for price) will become revered in future years. Great content!
  • Great video! It's been quite a ride over the past decade and it'll be interesting to see where this goes. If I may offer one small suggestion, it would be to minimize or eliminate the background music. It's a bit hard to hear you over the track.

    Great video Mike. I'm lucky enough to own 3 guitars that made the top 10. I would tell anyone looking to buy a guitar strictly for investment....don't. Buy a guitar that you will love & enjoy. If it just so happens to be a good investment that's even better. Long term investments in the S&P are far more likely result in better returns. But it's a wonderful thing to own a guitar that is not only something that you love & enjoy but also qualifies as a solid investment.
  • Loved this video. I’ve got a sunburst custom shop Les Paul Junior and it screams. Would love an original one day 😊👍

    Interesting video, I thought juniors would be top! strangely I thought ES-330s would have been higher. I think es-175s will be a good buy now that 330s are so expensive. Epiphone Coronets also a good buy I think for the future.

    Fascinating insight Mike! It seems like perhaps the slightly more obtainable (cheaper) guitars have risen slightly faster which makes sense. I'm curious which custom colours have seemed to do most (or least) well in your experience?
  • Hi Mike, great video! Just my two cents on the development of single cut versus dual cut juniors: I think in the earlier years the juniors were considered mainly player guitars, which is why Dual cuts were more desired. Then juniors started to become collector’s pieces and thus the older single cut ones became more interesting (simply because of the age). I think this explains pretty well why the dc juniors got taken over by the sc ones.

    Hi Mike. Great video. What about the Gibson ES-125?

    Around 2018 I went down the rabbit hole of collecting vintage guitars. Pretty much cashed out all my savings funds and over the last four years bought and sold mostly pre 65 Fenders and Gibsons. Because my goal was to experience these guitars and not as an investment I mostly bought refins or neck repairs. Would prefer to have two refins than 1 perfect vintage (which I would be too scared to play). Glad to see the refins are experiencing good growth - have 3 pre CBS Strats all refins. On the other hand the price rise has completely killed the collecting for me. Cannot fathom paying 40k for a Goldtop when they were maybe 20k back in 2019. Even if I can sell my current guitars for higher my brain just won’t accept it

    Hope the rest of your holiday was good Mike. After bumping into you at the Cathedral we saw Right Said Fred performing outside WH Smith’s. All very surreal. Tony
