^ awesome- are they all vintage, or are some a bit newer?

In that pic, the tobacco sunburst is new, well sort of.  It was made for me in the mid-90's by a friend in Bradford, but the neck warped and I gave it back to him to fix.  After about 5 years and one broken truss rod later, he suggested that I gave it to Will Scott (Will Scott Guitars) to fix.  One of my other friends had a 1962/3 SG Standard that had a headstock break (the second for this guitar), and Will restored it back to original condition.  So I gave him the Les Paul but then I sent him a 1964 Thunderbird IV that I had bought in pieces and asked him to rebuild that first.  I also had him put chambers into the Les Paul as it was really heavy.  I got it back in 2004, and it is amazing.  It was at LGS in 2005 on the BK stand.  I have a pretty good mix of old and new, the oldest being a 1917 Washburn Parlor guitar which is just like a 1 series Martin.  The newest would be the foam green strat that I am spraying at the moment!  I have about 60 guitars but at the moment there are about 30 others at home from my firend who passed away in January.  All his are vintage, he had nothing newer than the 80's, other than a 2005 Nash 57 Strat.

It's nice but not the same as a Bravewood.  From about 2 feet away it looks old, but the bridge saddles are 'fender - fender' and there are no cracks in the lacquer.  However in the States it is about 60% of the cost of a Bravewood.  The aging on the plastic parts is good, but the bodies and necks are a bit generic.
