Electric guitarists
can be fairly criticised for their reluctance to change to new ideas and
technologies, however, there is no doubt that a classic 1950’s guitar
and valve amplifier in good condition still sounds great in modern recordings.
This is a testament to good design from the start. What has improved today
is consistency, and the cost benefits of production line manufacture.
This is offset by the rarity of good guitar wood (it makes a huge difference,
even on an electric guitar), increased labour costs for both guitars and
amplification equipment, and the availability of good and consistent quality
valves.
There is also an element of nostalgia, with memories of many of the great players of years gone by, and the desire to use the same types of instruments and equipment to recapture the magic. Vintage instruments and equipment have become valuable collectors items also (some with very inflated prices) which adds further to the desirability of older tools of the trade. There has been a recent trend by many companies to re-market their original instruments and equipment; new guitars can even be bought now "pre-aged"!
