honestly for most styles of music vintage guitars are just overall better
like
for real
they've got character
especially for fuzz driven music
nnnnng them teiscos
not to mention most vintage guitars are around the same price as a new guitar anyways (some even less if you know where to look) |

Because people have different preferences when it comes to guitars? Why exactly do you care what guitars people play? |

"Because people have different preferences when it comes to guitars? Why exactly do you care what guitars people play? "
I don't
I'm simply asking a question
I mean I can understand if you're into metal or something so you can get that brvtal BC Rich look
But otherwise vintage just seems the way to go
Or at the very least used |

@rene
I think Rondomusic sells rickenbacker-esque guitars
They might have a 12 string
(Rondo makes guitars that are cheap, but they're only cheap because they're factory direct. Most people really enjoy their Agile brand)
I'll check |

Well
They only have a 12 string les paul and two 12 string es-335 style guitars currently
they have 6 string rickenbacker style guitars though
@Bljad
Vintage is typically considered anything manufactured prior to 1980 (or sometimes during the early 80s or the entirety of the 80s) |

it was price for me, i could get a vintage but i already have a vintage yamaha acoustic and how good is my music gonna be anyway lol? getting a 100$ lefty on ebay just made more sense than obsessing over some magic audio fairy in vintage guitars that you can replicate in the mix anyway |

well for lefties it's understandable since vintage lefty guitars are rare
"The only vintage I have is a Dave mustaine signed one don't know why everyone wastes money over collecting them."
i'm not talking insanely expensive collectable vintage guitars
i'm talking vintage guitars for playing
teiscos (which are excellent guitars imo) can range anywhere from $40 to like $400 at pawn shops and they are great for fuzz
you can get vintage MIM/MIJ/MIA strats for like $500, whereas new ones are either roughly the same price or much more
there's just no point in buying new imo
vintage guitars usually are higher quality and sound better than newer ones |
