darkbarguitar - 2012-11-05 4:22 PM '... but mainly because I had seen them all over the Midnight Special and every other show that had live bands. In truth, I don't really know what I would have thought if I played an old Balladeer and a Martin D-28 side by side back in 1976.

Fair enough. I don't recall what specific guitars I had the chance to try back then, but the Legend won out. Maybe for me it was the Jim Croce factor.

 

...but good enough to start a whole "vintage collection" today and expect great results??? Probably not.

Sometimes vintage is over-rated.

Agreed... Like "prototype"
Prototype guitars are just the ones they make before they get it right.

Or they get lucky with the proto and then never duplicate it due to costs or other factors.

The Adamas proto bass I have is fantastic but for whatever reasons it was never produced.
