"Collectors" view certain collectible vintage guitars, basses and amps as objets d'art and also for their investment potential, while "Players" care primarily about using and enjoying them for their intended purpose.
I would surmise that most SG101 members are belong in the latter category.
The conundrum is that the collectors have driven up the prices of these "certain collectible vintage" items far beyond what most of us can afford.
But fortunately there are places like Songbirds that at least allow us mere mortals to publicly gaze longingly at classic vintage gear that once may have been within our reach financially in the past, but is no longer.
My very humble opinion is; Since we baby boomers came up in the age of "The Rock Guitar Gods period" that once we Baby Boomers die off, there really isn't a crop of younger players who want to emulate their hero's since there isn't too many GTR hero's these days. Most young kids who are into music (like my 17 yo granddaughter) are into hip hop, rap, etc....not a lot of "Musicianship" there to idolize. I think the vintage GTR market will collapse within 20 years to a more reasonable $$$ level...again, just MHO...YMMV.
