Guitar gear: Future classics?
A Wet Helmet:
VG Strats.
You might laugh but they are already going for about 40% more than you could pick one up retail 18 months ago.

And for the fact Gibson has a Robot guitar in basically every model they make, makes the Strat seem better just because its not a Gibson.
Its always a hard one to call because who in the 1950s thought that the same design of the Stratocaster would still be around now, and still essentially be the best?
I always hope that the future brings something cool in regards to smooshing technology and guitars together, rather than a guitar that can tune itself or whatever. We can only dream that holograms of Stevie Ray Vaughan will become available - add a hot jam to your next gig.

Idunno, I like 'em stock. They make my old Japanese hollowbody sound like a fucking monster.

Maybe some of the stuff that Eastwood is putting out, but those are mostly clones of things that are already highly sought after, so I'm not sure if that counts.
As far as pedals go I'd be very surprised if some of the stuff Diamond puts out don't skyrocket in value as soon as they stop making them, especially the Memory Lane and the compressor.
The memory lane is 600 bucks new, I'd hate to image what they'll cost once they're vintage.
A lot of sweet big muff-esque (EQD Hoof, Stomp Under Foot, Skreddy Pig Mine, etc) pedals will probably fetch a high price a couple of decades down the road as well.

I'd imagine some of Godin's finer models will become very well-regarded in 20 years, now that they're finally making an aesthetically pleasing guitar. Fenders, too -- the current crop are very nicely made, thoughtfully designed guitars, from a brand that is synonymous with the electric guitar. Larrivee and Breedlove acoustics.
Ampwise, a lot of the boutique stuff will hold its value -- BadCat, Matchless, /13, Suhr. I can see the modern Traynors becoming legendary very soon, if only for their low used value and decent tone. Simple, well made tube amps pretty much never go out of style. The Peavey 6505 is definitely a standard in the heavier realm. I doubt anything digital will hold its value, only because of the constant improvements.
