I think Gary’s Classics looks for the old major names…Fender, Gibson, Ephiphone, Guild, Gretch, Rickenbacker and the like. That is not to say your guitars are not good. He just has his market for those old names.
And yes, that Nocaster was definitely worn in. That is what made it so cool to hold. It was like holding spirits.
Jacksons are still pretty common. That first-run EVH will pull down some bucks with collectors, though. EVH fans are crazy like that. :)
