Tap for spoiler

Used electric guitars are way overpriced. IMHO current guitars, regardless of country of origin (and often price), are of better quality than almost everything built from the 70’s through the end of the 90’s.

    I am old enough to have played and guitar shopped in the early 80’s and 90’s. So much of what was sold was what I consider trash quality and doesn’t hold a candle to the precision CNC stuff being cranked out on the cheap now. I doubt that age would have magically made those old stock guitars better.

    I do agree with your general sentiment, if I understood it correctly. I have been a watch collector and a classic car collector, so I do understand the concept of owning history or owning a product of craftsmanship rarely found now. Not all old stuff has memorable history or quality craftsmanship. Sometimes old stuff is just old.
