It depends on how it's used, treated and serviced. New stuff can be crap in less than a year. I have 1960's guitars and amps that still look brand new. Most think my 1966 Deluxe Reverb is a re-issue. My 1967 Trini Lopez 335 is in showroom new condition, I take care of it. Same with the rest of the stuff. The 1980's rack gear looks and operates as new.

Take care of it and it will take care of you.
