You know who you are. You know what you like: the tone, the feel, the nostalgia, even the prestige of owning a classic. A piece of the history of the music that moves you to play. Or perhaps you are an investor, drawn to the unconventional -- artworks, fine wine, and the burgeoning market for the highly-limited, increasingly scarce pool of vintage guitars.

And they just aren't making them like they used to, are they? Fever for vintages has led all the major manufacturers to produce reissues, limited editions and specials that, while nice, just don't have the allure of the originals. Some of the most valuable guitars in the world today were bought in pawn shops in an age when the idea of $6,000 "new vintage" guitars would have seemed laughable -- old Les Pauls, Explorers, SRV's legendary Lenny.
