Default Guild M-20 - Vintage versus New? Pros and cons?

Hi folks,
I played a killer 60's Guild M-20 last night.

Great bass, loud, balanced and tons of mojo. So easy to thump so blues. (Maybe helped simmer down my GAS for a Waterloo...)

Anybody know the difference b/w a vintage 60's M-20 and a new one? Pros and cons?

I have not looked that deep but this seems cheap right?

The m120 is Chinese made and the m20 is American made...hence the price difference. I think the Chinese made guilds are an exceptional instruments and a great value

I think the OP is referring to the new American made M20s. They seems very thin on the ground at the moment.

Can't wait to try one.

Thanks y'all. Really not sure the difference b/w any of them. New to the M20 world. Just that that vintage one was super cool...

I've played 3 new M-20's. Very consistent, high quality, great playing and sounding instruments. Have also played 2-3 used but near new M-120's. 1/2 the price, heavy gloss finish, well built, decent sound, but no vibe. The new American made M-20 begs to be picked up and played. No experience with vintage ones.
