Foresight in our youth. Boy! Wouldn't that have been great.

Today’s youth can look at older generations and grasp the concept of future value easier than we could since many of the modern day collectables came from specific decades of innovation and introduction. True that this exists today, but to a lesser degree as much of today’s related tools are based on obsolescence and/or mass production and a large distribution, amongst other things.

Just like vintage amps, reverbs, equalizers, speakers, instruments, and such can have a following, the same is still somewhat possible except that software can stand in for hardware and instruments may be a push of a button or click of a mouse.

Old school instruments are not always the easiest to learn or play. Successive generations are known to make things easier to do that. We’re certainly, but questionably, finding that today. We also know that software may not play nice in the future. Old synths and midi can be a novelty or a charm.

The future may dictate a different need or want. At the very worst that old axe will simply hang on the wall, at the best it will give a show on the stage or in the recording unlike any other. But, sadly, the gap is closing.

As a boy I remember both models of and actual vintage cars of the first automobiles. They were not only in garages, museums, and at premium events, but for you and I they were much more accessible and affordable. Today they have mostly disappeared from public view and are replaced by the Classics. The best of the best are gobbled up. Today’s cars have their following and, popular as they may be, they are destined to be replaced by alternative transportation. Yet, cars will remain in the hands of the privileged and fans. Whether the rest of the infrastructure supports a box on four tires is anyone’s guess.

This can be compared to support of the guitar. I think there will be a place for autos and guitars as we know them, but if ancient instruments are any indication, while they may have their place, the places are either different or becoming few and far between compared to the past. On one hand, looking at keyboards as an example, modernization has definitely taken over. Will guitars keep evolving, and will they gain collectable acceptance? Time will tell.

Then again, music is in the mind and the soul, and we will always need to satisfy that mojo with our tool of choice. For some it’s the 4 string bass or the six string guitar.

In the end a hammer without nails maybe can’t build that project, and who cares if no one takes notice. Who said build it and they will come? Perhaps, a guitar or bass player.?:wink:

That is an interesting point. One thing I've always noticed is things do come back in cycles, and often are blended with other things, as well. That often is in fashion, as well as musical styles, which of course, included the related tools to create. Of course, music and fashion also have a tendency to go hand in hand together.

Good observations, Paul. I’m thinking with today’s trend tie dye shirts and flowers in the hair can’t be too far behind. Don’t ever lose that violin bass . :wink:

This hard to admit; although, I need to be punished. I had one. I repeat just ONE! One was too many. :roll:

Well, it was the time period. I remember when I was in high school in the 80's, there was some ridiculous fashion choices, as well. Especially, the late 80's. :P

In ‘65 I was cruising the beaches in southern England when fashion was very much the name of the game. They were wearing topless bathing suits. I came back to Canada at the end of summer and the girls weren’t wearing any over here. :lol:

You might have something there, Paul.

Some Canadian girls are very cool while others are hot! They even look good on the slopes with a toque.:P
