A few years ago, one of my work friends withdrew his 401K money and started investing in musical instruments, figuring they would grow in value faster than the investments that were available to him in our 401k plan. And for a while they did.

I lost track with him when I retired... but now I'm curious to know if the stringed instruments he bought are continuing to grow in value.

FWIW, I think he was mostly buying banjos, not guitars. Given the current popularity of bluegrass and Americana music, I'd guess that banjos are more marketable than guitars these days.

I have some guitars I'd like to sell... maybe I'd better not wait...
