I’ve posted about this before, but I have a friend who has a 1997 or 99 (can’t remember now), 512. It is a lovely guitar, and I’ve always enjoyed playing it when I’ve had the chance. I have a ‘12 314ce, and that is really nice as well. I agree with other posters that just because it is from the ‘90’s” doesn’t necessarily make it great...it’s all about the individual guitar. Although 26 years of aging probably won’t hurt the sound!
