Just a curious/hypothetical question. In the next 10, 20, 30+ years, where do you think the soaring vintage guitar (and amp) market will be?
Will it continue to climb? Will the market crash? None of the above?
Personally, and mostly just anecdotal speculation, I think we'll see the vintage market cool off in the next 10 to 20 years. I've met a lot of musicians in the 15-30 year old range who simply don't care about the vintage of their instruments; it's not so much owning a "59 les Paul" as it is owning "A les Paul" in general. It's something I've noticed a lot in younger musicians.
So what do you fine ladies and gentlemen think the future will hold for vintage gear?
