I was in a guitar shop a few days ago. In the used section they had two early eighties US vintage guitars, and 3 mid eighties Japanese fender basses. I pointed out that these were priced a bit high. The sales guy said that the first versions of Re issue guitars was now starting to become vintage them self, in away vintage on Re vintage. A bit funny i think , who would know 20-25 yrs ago that this Re Vintage, would become vintage by them self ? And since the Japanese Fender from the 80's are not exact copy's will there ever be a Re issue of a Japanese 62 re isue form 1986 if it would, thet would be hilarious !
One of my two favorite basses is a 1985 Japanese Fender Jazz bass. I love it! I will never part with it. That being said, all the guts of it have long been replaced.
