    Funny, today there's tons of gear designed to emulate or recreate the sounds of gear that was declared obsolete and replaced with "more advanced" products.

    Same is probably true of 95% of what most first worlders buy in one way or another. Whether it's guitar gear, cars, washing powder or beer. It's what makes the world go down.
    umm...I mean around

    Think of how cheap you could get a Les Paul '54-'59 back in the 60's for instance.

    Yep, in reality, many old vintage guitars, amps, and certain effects boxes are the most desirable equipment you can (or can't) buy. Some of the newer stuff tries hard to emulate the classic stuff, which is fine since most of us sure can't afford the originals.
