Can I just plug in a vintage guitar?

Interestingly Enough asked:


I’ve never bought an old guitar before (we’re talking 1940′s or so). Heck, I’ve never even played one.

But if I were to get something, what are the electronics like? Can I just plug it up and get it ready to go? Or is there even the same 1/4 inch cable type? Really I know nothing about them.

Thanks guys.
Generally the only problem, yeah, but there is something nice about a vintage buzz, right?

How do I adjust the intonation on my vintage Harmony guitar?

There are no fine tuners, just two screws to raise the bridge on the High E and Low E sides. I am getting insane amounts of buzz, and when I can manage to get the buzz to go away *even a little*, the intonation is terrible. The neck has just been shimmed, and a new zero fret has been installed. What do I do? I love this guitar, and I’m desperate.
