Vintage Auctions

I am not sure who made the first reissue guitar. Maybe it was those 1966 Gibson Flying V's, which were made somewhat like the 1958 models. Of course way back then there were fewer models to reissue. The electric guitar reissue craze seemed to really blossom in the 1990's. Guitar buyers liked the vintage style reissue guitars and there were a growing number of reissues to choose from.  This happened partly because the real vintage guitars were becoming too expensive for mere mortals to afford.
