'Mojo' definitely plays a part too
@Monstronaut is spot on.

I'm not bashing them at all....more stating they're not of any significance to me...but I'd like to know how the general consensus is on the matter. Thought that was obvious in the OP ?
Fight me, bro!
I personally think the prices of vintage guitars have gone stupid and it's a very hard market to understand if your new to buying vintage.
Vintage guitars are no different to new guitars from the point of view that some are good n some aren't.
A lot of people seem to think that vintage guitars are the be all and end all and just because there old they must be great and worth a fortune.
I do personally like vintage guitars, but I was brought up in a house that was full of them, Lol. But I'm not a believer that they are any better than new ones, they are just different.
I like the mojo n the thought of the history of them.
I do honestly think that there's a lot of tosh talked when people say they play better n sound better.
Imo they are a luxury but certainly are not the be all and end all.
Let's be honest 40 years ago there's wasn't such thing as vintage guitars.
A lot of people just get obsessed about value. The first thing that nearly everyone says that seems my collection of guitars is how much is that guitar worth, Not or that's a nice guitar.
I don't put any value on any of guitars I'm just not interested.
I couldn't cope with anything that needed me to take a footstool around just to play tho..
However, I'd love a Gretsch from my birth year, 1968. Maybe a double Annie, or a 6120. Annie's are my favourite...
I've been thinking about one for a bit and wondered what colour others were drawn to..
I don't think it's bashing just poeple saying thier opinions.
I've never liked sunburst Gretsches..... or any other sunburst guitar....now I come to think of it....
^^zackly.....I just was asking what is the consensus...?? And stated my own position. If someone loves old guitars no problem - each to their own, but they're not for me and I'm critical that they are any better. Others might well (natch) have a different view...what is the general thoughts on 'em? Simples really..
I've played a retopped 58 that didn't blow me away whereas a 56 I played was bloody lovely and I didn't even plug in, same as a friends 63 es335, it just had a great neck and set up
I think I could pick out a modern gibson and a vintage one just by the neck
Vintage ones have a great profile modern ones don't, just my opinion
Of course they're silly money that I'll never have so I make my own like any respecting poor person would
It's a bit like when I was a kid I never got a new bike so had to make one or walk
