I don't disagree, but I don't agree entirely either. The NS guitars are what they are, and they're plenty cool for what they cost, but they're still guitars built to a fairly low price point for the types of guitar they are. And yes, I bought my vintage ones for not a lot more than what an NS costs now, but that's twenty years ago, and even a nice condition Franz pickup X175 will set you back at least 2K, probably more if you're in a hurry.

And the NS guitars, again, are alright, but I do miss nuance, sweetness, details, and more wine tasting terms in them that are there in the vintage guitars, or indeed in a quality archtop that's not made to a low price point in a far-east factory that specializes in that sort of thing.

Perfectly stated IMO.
