This is a gear junkie website, and people are very particular about their gear. I'm not sure what a good solution for consolidating gear listings would be, but with a lot of pedal makers offering "handprinted" or "Limited edition" colors/versions, and all the frankenstein guitars out there, its bound to be a big cluster cuss. Things like color should not play into it for sure. And I think mods should not be either. There should be a section for notes for things like mods. I mean, when when Michael Jackson got his "mods" he just became a worse looking Michael Jackson, not a different person.

As far as the different colors go, I think they should merge them. As far as Vintage is concerned... I think there is a huge difference in sound between a '59 Les Paul, a 80's Les Paul, and a new Les Paul. It's pretty objective too. No one would argue that an early 70's Tele Deluxe sounds like the reissue. They're not made in the same country, they use very different sounding pickups, even the resonance and weight is dramatically different even from early 70's to the late 70's in that particular guitar. There should be a vintage distinction even down to the year as far as I'm concerned.
