You know what? Some people just feel more comfortable playing the old stuff. Is comfort on your list of things you look for in a guitar?

All respect for violins and fiddles, but they are and continue to be strangely shaped cigar-boxes with a stick to the left and cat-guts you stroke with horse-hair running from one end to the other.

In other words, , , I'm not the person to judge those instruments at all.

 

But move in and check different vintage acoustic guitars on the Tube - one have to be rather deaf or insensitive not to hear the extra dimension*.

 

Whether it's better or worse is a matter of personal taste.

 

I for my part prefer a bit of both. . .

 

 

 

 

*Of course it could also be seen as 'something missing' (the young feel'n'sound).
