Hmm...I would go with say post mid 80's to late mid 90's as the MIJ was most sought after before the CIJ came out, and now as of late MIJ is back once more.
Mid 80's '62 Ri MIJ 3TSB Stratocaster and 2017 MIJ Blue Power Jazzmaster.?
That is the whole reason of the LAB aged/relic guitars for the one who missed out on the 50's/60's vintage find. There are a lot of people who cant wait any longer depending on the demographic age they're in, so splurge for one and you may feel that you have a vintage 50's/60's style aged...
I'll go as far as VOS then give it my own aged looks. Not worth the LAB work for me just because you cant age it in a few years or so, I'll save the rest for another Martin acoustic instead. :giggle:
Aged Paul's are only for real vintage Mc Coy IMHO!
