The only people who are going to take a serious haircut from used guitars losing value is collectors. And I personally don't feel that bad for them.
People keep complaining about how guitar-based music is dying. While it descended from its peak, it's definitely not dying. Social media and Tik Tok (heaven forbid) have put guitarists before a lot of new eyes. A notable example being bands like Polyphia. Turns out if you play something fresher than blues or classic rock, kids will get excited about it.
And if you like guitar music, metal and hardcore are arguably having a huge renaissance. Every week I find new bands putting out fresh stuff. There's a million different styles to look into. And look how big bands like Lorna Shore have become, again partly due to social media. Obviously metal guitarists don't usually (with some exceptions) want your vintage Strat/Tele/LP, but that doesn't mean all guitars are losing value.
