Ok so I'm a little interested in the whole vintage guitar thing....mine's super new. It's about six years old haha.

Of course we need pics!

Very nice! I had one, until I stupidly sold it, cherry sunburst and all! It was IT through the JCM 800 that I also stupidly sold.

It's a little hard to date the MIJ stuff but probably my Greco EG-1000C or my Hamer Sunburst, both 1980. My Burny is probably a 1983.

I recently sold a ca 1975 Ibanez Strat.

Oldest known is about 1996, but the oldest unknown is my Dad's P-Bass, bought used in 1979, so I know it's older than that.

dude that thing is awesome...

my oldest is my custom player strat i got about 10 years ago or so.. its nothing vintage but its been trough hell and a ton of mods.. soon as i installed my first pickup in it i couldn't stop and it became my guinea pig for my twisted experiments lol. Its got some heavy wear and eventho poly is like **** near bullet proof somehow its got its light relicing that gives it some nice visual mojo.. it used to be white blond, but its allot more white than blond.. i first tought it was white but then i noticed you could see the grain of the ash wood behind but just barely, and i say used to because its turned into a light vintage yellow over the years.. when you remove the pickguard you can clearly see the original white color underneath.. i changed the neck at one point years ago and it then later on did a special tapered scalloping. It is curently on the operation table for a little fix up and new antiquity II pups! Ill post pics once i recieve them and install em.

A 2002 Coxx Les Paul thing although I have a mid 1980s Strat copy living with me for now. The Coxx is looking pretty old for it's age...

1985 MIJ Fender Contemporary Telecaster.

[MikeS]

Not very old... the stamp on the neck of my Aria Strat says either 1997 or 1998... I can't remember which.

[JacksonMIA]

My oldest is a 67 Gibson LG-0.


I have three Peavey Predators from 1992, and they're my oldest electrics.

[krankguitarist]

Mine's about 100+ years old or so...dunno the exact year that it was built.

Was made by my great, great, great uncle. Nylon stringed axe with beautiful inlays on the neck. More of a showpiece than anything else, really.

Don't have any pictures at the moment, but I'll post some when I finally get all my stuff...together....moving sucks.

Del Vecchio Resonator guitar, made in Sao Paulo, Brazil 40-something years ago. Seen here on the day I purchased it second hand from Seymour Duncan's Brazilian distributor in -- of all places -- Sao Paulo, Brazil.



The body and sides are pao ferro. The fingerboard is Brazilian rosewood.

Oldest I can think of is my '85 MIJ Squier Strat.
