Re: Guitar Price Question
The value goes up when the guitar or (a) part(s) of the guitar get(s) rare, for example old dirty finger loaded Gibson guitars. A good example of a guitar would be the discontinued PRS Singlecut, and an amp would be a late 60's Marshall "Plexi".
The resale-value of a second hand instrument is usually determined by the state, and on really high end instruments on whether it's still original and has all the stock parts.

Two things must happen:
1. It must go out of production.
2. Someone famous must use it.

Re: Guitar Price Question
with LPS and strats, there are certain periods where quality was high and the price for them is higher than the price for ones made in periods when quality was low ... that being said, in the irrational exuberance that is the vintage guitar marketplace, even crappy 'old' ones start to fetch a high price even though they suck (e.g. pancake LPs, CBS strats, etc)
caveat emptor and buy em to play em

Bueller? Ferris?
Basically Norlin era Gibsons. While the 68-69 Les Pauls are deservedly sought after, the large headstocked, pancake bodied, volute havin', 3 piece topped, plasticly finished, 3 piece maple necked havin', obtusely heavy (and possibly stock Kahler equipped) Norlins from 69-86 are probably the least collectable Les Pauls.
For anybody that's offended by that- what feature does your LP have?- if it has any of the above traits- those aren't good things...
