    I only have the one vintage guitar sadly - a 1969 Hardtail Strat with maple cap fingerboard (I included the pic with my 1990 LP Custom and 2002 PRS Cu24 because it's the best pic of its true colour - the phone pic came out a bit 'bluey', and the first pic was over 25 yrs old)

    My late 1950s, possibly Hofner, guitar:

    Tuned down 2 steps, capo on the second fret, and it is good to go.  Pretty decent sound from the pickup too.

    the term vintage really needs some qualifying 
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.

    Or any CS Blue Jazzmasters.

    I disagree. There's been a big thread on what is and what is not vintage. If for the purposes of this thread you only want to see pre-CBS Fenders then that's fine. However, although not pre-CBS, I certainly would regard a 1969 Strat as vintage and I think any vintage specialist dealer would concur.

    but the desirebles are the pre CBS Fenders. Thats why there is a premium, thats why they are the most sought after.

    CBS fender are associated with bad quality and corner cutting, the same with Norlin era Gibsons. 
    By the very definition of the word vintage how can something synonymous with bad quality be deemed to be of high quality?

    "Vintage guitar" is a lie when paired with something because its over 25 years old. Its such horse shit
    A fucking Marlin Sidewinder will be 25 years old soon. You need stabbing if you ever call one of those vintage

    The two in the middle... ooooft.

    My dad used to have a 1962 SG Junior (well, Les Paul Junior technically) and what an amazing guitar that was.
