1992 is NOT vintage

1992 is NOT vintage

it's over 20 years old, its vintage.

not buying then don't talk rubbish

 

[Innuendo]

first off, i’m not buying too. just curious.

where did you get the notion that 20 years make a guitar “vintage”?

i’ve always thought and considered that vintage, if it refers to the age of a guitar (not necessarily its quality), can be applied to those made pre-1980. so i tend to agree with skidrow. we could be wrong of course.

anyone else would like to share?

or why not do a poll?

when i was playing guitar in the 90s, the 70s fenders were already referred to as vintage.

it is now year 2015. do the maths. time moves forward n isn't stuck in the past. too many young punks in soft making stupid comments.

 

[Innuendo]

apologies, your reply seems like my post offended you. in the late 70’s when i was really into guitars we didn’t call late 50s/early 60s guitars “vintage”. we just called them old.

that’s a new one for me. in the 90s, i remember 70s fenders were never really considered as vintage, yet.

i don’t need to do any maths, i’m aware time moves on. and its relative, so what maybe vintage for one, may not be for another.

good luck with your sale.

My limited understanding is that age alone does not constitute vintage. It could be either vintage (aged & desired) or just old (aged and undesirable like me). From a quick check in the internet, the general consensus seems to be that vintage would have to be at least 20-25 years old. So it kinda falls within the loose definition.

One dictionary definition of vintage includes "denoting something of high quality, esp. something from the past or characteristic of the best period of a person's (or in this case, company's) work."

Singlecut did mention that the guitar is "made of dryer, mature wood resulting in a lighter weight guitar" --- that could be a unique quality that's desired by some.

Ups for that.

We are all gentlemen, let's respect each others' opinions here.
Friendly bantering is fine, we all bros!

Personally for me, desirable vintage fenders are from 52'-72' to rest are just old guitars. Fender CS don't reissue anything after 1972 is already an indicator that they're undesirable. YMMV.

I doubt you even played a Fender from 52 to 72 to know what you are even talking about. Fender reissuing guitars from that period means nothing about desirability, it's just marketing. CBS era Fenders aka the 70s Fenders are known to have poor QC as noted by people who actually played them. And the pre CBS 50s 60s Fenders? Leo Fender and the Fender company's philosophy was to produce cheap affordable guitars for musicians, and that's the way they were back then. The Fender guitars (Strats and Teles) were designed the way they are (bolt on, interchangeable parts etc) for easy assembly, disassembly and reassembly ala lower production and servicing costs and even to allow for easy user servicing.

Fenders are still built in the same design (bolt on, parts etc) but you get charged 6k and up for the same bolt on guitar made in the custom shop. They call it custom shop today but using CNC machines, is it even the same way Leo Fender and his team did it back then? This is marketing.

For the regular Joes today, they can still buy affordable well made Fenders from the Standard and American Standard series. To say these guitars are undesirable just because they are made after 1972? That's pure nonsense!

People are willing to pay 5 figures for 50s Fenders, made under Leo Fender, for sentimentality and collection reasons. Guitarists born in 1992 will buy a same birth year vintage guitar for sentimentality and collection reasons as well. Notice the ones who buy 50s Fenders tend to be from that era as well.

Age is the single definitive indicator of whether something qualifies as vintage. It doesn't make sense for someone like you to slap on an unrealistic and narrow view of vintage to consist of only 52-72, then 50 years later a 73 will still not be considered vintage. It's like refusing to admit you are old 50 years later.

Time moves on, guitars move into vintage category simply because times have changed, the era has changed. Back in 1992 there's no Internet forums for trolls to bitch about 70s Fenders not being vintage. Now in 2015, we have trolls saying 1992 guitars are not vintage. When I posted this advert, there were 2 other adverts by 2 other guys on the same page advertising 90s guitars as vintages (a 90s Yamaha and a 93/94 Fender) but somehow haters congregate here in my advert to talk shit.

If you want to be stuck in the past so be it but don't belittle or throw your narrow unrealistic definition on other people's gear.

I owned vintage fenders. Don't be offended. I already said it's my personal opinion. Your mileage might vary. Maybe to you a 90s strat is vintage and desirable. Good for you.

 

[17wil]

singlecut, well you are a seller, obviously you are going to advertise and promote your items to be the best with the most awesome description ever, "vintage, best, golden era, collection worthy, grow in value blah blah etc..", we get it.

If you want to be stuck in the rut so be it but don't belittle or throw your narrow unrealistic definition on other people's opinions by name calling - "too many young punks in soft making stupid comments."

Friendly banter has a limit too.

Well to me personally, it's kinda rude to be talking about this vintage and old shit in someone else post. For goodness sake, he is just trying to sell his gear.

If u guys want to have a friendly and brotherly debate on this, can we just go to the GENERAL DISCUSSION on something, then we can always talk about brotherly banter there.
