I love both vintage and new production guitars. In general I tend to think that if you pick them right, you can't go wrong.
With that said, vintage guitars do have a different feel. I can't say whether it's better or worst, just different. Certainly aged wood plays a big role in the way old guitars respond and feel in your hands.
I've recently bought a late 58 (59 serial number) Gibson Junior single cut and I am absolutely thrilled with it. I would very much like to get an old pre-cbs strat or tele.
I've had a 64/65 fender mustang which I sold, and could certainly feel that the guitar responded differently.
Given the option would you go for a vintage tele or strat, or would you rather spend you money on a nice custom shop or reissue?
