If you have only one guitar in your life, this is it
You'll hear a lot about vintage guitars and how great they are. The impression given is that a guitar is great because its old. This is not true. I've had many old guitars and many were not great at all. You'll hear that a telecaster should be light or that it should be heavy. You'll often hear about wood and pickups and their originality. But none of that really matters once you own it. All that counts is whether or not its great. and My guitar is not the lightest, it s about 7 pounds which is pretty average for an old tele. Its a body only refinish. Everything else is original. So its not the MOST collectable but still nice to own. But that really counts is that this guitar is one i can't set down. I just love playing it. Its an inspiring guitar that makes me play things I don't play on other guitars. If you've only one guitar in the world. Make it your mission to find a guitar that makes you feel like that and don't ever part with it!!!
for some reason vintage guitars are not treated like vontage wine.... there are good years and bad years for certain brands just like wine, good models and bad models.... and with guitars, not ever specimen of a certain model from a good year is up to snuff.... maybe it was great from the factory and fell into disrepair or maybe its a badone that just barely avoided getting labeled a factory second. The 'vintage' guitar market has gone nuts because its full of amatures and speculators who don't know good from bad and don't play enough (if they play at all) to have strong personal preferences. I have played great vintage guitars that were not my cup of tea, so their value to me was $0, right?! Because I am a player. If I don't make great music with it and feel inspired then its just a collectible hunk of wood.
