Great article. I'm never going to sell any of my guitars again. My new retirement fund.

I especially like the bit where he says that new instruments are actually better then the old ones. That's called technology . Take the vintage car versus the new car. The new car will out perform the vintage (comparable models of course) in every way. The vintage is cool because its vintage. It should be kept alive because it cannot be reproduced with modern technology. But it is not better..... just vintage.

My 2c worth of bull!

I remember an interview with Eric Johnson where he claimed the steel used by Fender in their frets during the 50's was of a higher grade than they were using at the time of the interview, about 1992 I think, and sounded better to him. Then again, he is the guy who claims to be able to distinguish different battery models in his pedals :v:

You have to assume that people get better at doing things with experience, surely with over 50 years of knowledge and technical advancements since electric guitars were first introduced it is possible to build a better guitar these days? Whatever about the pleasing sonic effect of aged wood, according to the scienticians, pickups should actually sound worse the older they get.

I'm never going to sell my guitars again. In fact i may go on an ebay shopping spree and buy loads of cheap guitars so in many years time I can sell them as "classics";)
