It hasn’t escaped the notice of instrument makers that even though the original rock generation has aged out of new music, they’re still keen consumers of the tools of the trade. Guitar sales are up, lavish reissues of sound machines like the Moog Model D synthesizer are luring enthusiasts who appreciate the aesthetic and appearance of classic instruments, just as much as the sounds they produce. The new Gibson Jimmy Page EDS-1275 Doubleneck guitar and Rhodes Mk7 Earth Edition piano are two recent entries into this select orchestra of collectibles.
