And the word vintage, as it was originally used, in reference to wine, refers only to a particular growing/production year. No certain age implied at all. You can go out and find 2010 "vintage" wines, and later this year 2011 (probably already in the southern hemisphere), maybe not in stores yet, but certainly at the wineries.
So, why in the world did "vintage" come to mean something old and supposedly special when referring to guitars and such???
Hey, Uncle Ole didn't dig 'em all. I've dug my fair share of the dang things too...
