I have a question. Are the vintage guitars good because they have been played a lot or they are just very well made?

[guitbrett]

@nunchaku1992

Nothing to do with play wear or being well made. They represent a different age. Different woods, bracing, music. It's virtually impossibly to re-create these in modern terms. They produce a different sound too.

@nunchaku1992 yeah, like the previous guy said, they are just things people collect if they can afford it. For playing purposes, you don't need a vintage, most people that collect them don't take them out of the house or hardly play them to preserve them. Luckily a good guitar is not so out of reach for today's budget or if you are willing to eat and go out less in order to save for a good guitar ;)

@makemarker

So what excuse do modern makers use for the extortionate prices they charge for 'Boutique Guitars' which have absolutely no history?

What is the last tune you play (when the credits come up) great little tune, is that also one of yours? Great guitar sound and playing btw !!

What chords do play (if you don't mind me asking) am sure it is basic chords with intricate picking but would like the chords to get me started. Love that ragtime style !!
