Joe Perry does not want for vintage electric guitars. Over the years, the Aerosmith guitarist has amassed a healthy collection of gear. But that doesn’t mean he has stopped keeping up with new releases, and in an era when the vintage market is running so hot that prices are beyond many players’ reach, he has some good news for all us: guitar making is as good now as it was in the golden era.
Speaking with Total Guitar, Perry argued that not only that Gibson and Fender were making new models that were the equal of their sought-after vintage counterparts, but the smaller boutique companies were holding their own, too.
