that extrordinary feeling a vintage instrument has.
I always knew my friends father had an old
guitar in his closet, but I never cared that much.
Then two weeks ago, I asked if I could look at it,
and guess what he was hiding in his closet:
A 1965 Fender Stratocaster.
I was so happy!
I must have played that guitar for like 2 hours.
The sound was incredible, although a bit too vintage
for my metal-needs.
But it was a wonderful guitar.
So I would recommend you to buy a vintage guitar, because its just plain wonderful.
But I do agree with James that you need someone
with fair knowledge of vintage guitars.
Otherwise you could get stuck with a really
expensive guitar that sounds like crap.
What I would do is I would take the guitar
I want to buy (before I buy it) and take
it to a vintage guitarshop for "testing".
If the seller doesnt want to get it "tested",
then there's probably something wrong with it.
Its sort of like buying an old car.
