If you buy a guitar and don't play it you've lost the profit!!!

OK lets look at putting a guitar away as an investment - In 196... I bought an EKO guitar brand new - £30 what would be be worth now? £100 - £150 on a good day, if you compare price/wages now to then - I guess the guitar cost me about 3 weeks wages - what's that now £1000???????? more???? glad I didn't keep that one!

I bought an Ovation Baladeer in 69/70 second hand for £100 about 3 weeks wages then - anybody want it for a £1000 - ovno!!!

I have a nice collection of instruments ranging from the 19th century - I don't thing any would be "Worth" more now (money)- than when they were bought.

Yes invest in instruments - they will more than pay you back but with pleasure not money

just one old folksingers opinion......
