Had a great experience today. Visited a local guitar shop and got to play 3 very special guitars:
First up was a vintage US Strat. The first strat I have ever played and it had a really sweet sound. Not sure I would pay the price of this guitar, it was worth more than all my kit put together!!!
Next was a vintage Rickenbacker. I had never seen one until today in the flesh and got to play like a Beatle today.
Finished up playing a vintage Gretsch. Likewise, never seen one in the flesh before, never mind playing it.
While I enjoyed playing them all, I would be scared to death to own one and use it to gig with. Even playing in the shop I was scared to damage one. I guess that it would be really difficult to sell one on the black market as they are so rare but loosing one would be heart breaking and would also make a severe dent in my net assets.
But I now have some memories to hold while I play my el-cheepo's.

Sounds like you had fun!
I would love to own a vintage guitar, but I agree that I would be petrified that something would happen to it.

good vintage guitars have something which you cant describe in words....

Same here.
Tony has some great stuff in there and also some old amps.
Some are a bit beat up though.

I saw a classified posting a few days ago for a whole string of guitars for sale in CT and I am sure that is some of the guitars I played. My first time in the shop and I will be back!

Never mind vintage. I like any well -played guitar. They have stories and songs in them that brings a lot of mojo to the table!!
