Does vintage actually mean better? Michael Rubin of @KingFalconband has the guitars to answer that, including a ‘55 Goldtop, a ‘63 Jazzmaster, a non-reverse era ‘66 Firebird and a pre-CBS Strat. He shares the hunts behind them and where he draws the line on modding them. And Paul gets to play them, the swine.
