Many guitars have a re-sale value. Some you'll never want to sell.

I own examples from half of the aforementioned... but someday hope to tick them all off the list, so to speak.
NB - this is all talking electrics, for acoustics I am less knowledgeable, but Lowden look like they know what they are doing... edit, and oh yeah, Atkin of course!

I like the look Jaydee’s SGs as well, though I’ve not played one.
Mike Vanden made some amazing jazz guitars.
This is only going on reputation as I've had my hands on exactly 0 UK made instruments that weren't Gordon Smiths.
As far as putting my money in goes I've had a deposit in with Daemoness for two years and five months.
I could name someone to avoid!
Like "what" exactly, you might ask?
Like "exactly what I asked for"!
He built exactly what I asked for in terms of looks, sounds and feel. It wasn't a blue version of his model XX1, or model YY1 but with different p'ups, or (etc) - ie a variation on a standard model. It was a one-off (well, tbh, it was the second-off).
So I'd trust him to do something similar again.
If I was after something more standard, and wanted to see examples of the luthier's work beforehand, and talk to other customers, than I'd be heading to Feline for LP-alikes, or another builder for types that they specialise in.

Hadn't heard of Carillion until this thread, the designs are a bit modern for me but the workmanship looks extremely impressive.

Bit biased because I'm thinking of selling one, but it is stunning.
