    A tip for you young 'uns....

    If you think you might want a birth year instrument.....

    buying a guitar in your 20s.... its used or second hand.

    buying a guitar in your 50s.... its vintage.

    used is a LOT cheaper than vintage!

    Picked up an ESP Horizon a few years ago - it's serial number is 1 digit off from my actual date of birth. Don't think I could get closer than that.

    I keep missing out on the Gibson '68 Les Paul Custom (re-issue). I'm in the process of thinning out the collection at the moment. The goal is to get down to a few Vintage/Re-issues/Boutique guitars in the coming years.

    I bought a 1978 Gibson SG back in 1995.... only one year off my own birth year. Still play it every day :)

    Having been born in the 70's, most of the YOB guitars are junk and radically overpriced. It's gas how much they cost these days.
