What makes a Gibson Guitar Vintage? I heard it was only from 20s and early 70s, where can i find a value sheet?(Ive seen this somewhere before?) Do you think one that is made in the early 90s will have greater value in 50 years?

Am on holiday in Canada from UK next year, Don’t want a guitarless fortnight! Don’t like the Martin backpacker. Would love Ovation trekker but seem to be unavailable in UK, possibly out of production in US.

I don’t get it. How do you classify a guitar as vintage, or new?
no. i have lots of vintage guitars- when i sell i dont write VINTAGE on them. like say i have a guitar made in, oh i dont know, ’59, thats old. then if i have a guitar from ’90, the one in ’90 is still nearly 20 years old- not as old as one almost 50 years old. BUT the ’59 isnt even close to one made in 1800′s! WHAT IS THE REASON THAT MOST THINK THE 59 IS VINTAGE (which i think) AND THE 90 ISNT (which i also think)!!!!!!!!

Doug H asked:

I have a 92 telecaster so its already 16 years old, but when will it be vintage. Is there a certain number of years before a guitar is classified as vintage or are only certain models considered vintage? Im just wondering because I was going to sell it but I was wondering if I should hold on to it if it will be vintage and go up in value. Thanks.
