How old does a guitar have to be to be considered vintage?

What is a vintage guitar? While an antique is defined as an object over 100 years old, theres no strict chronological definition of what makes something vintage. Typically, though, guitars around 30 years old or older fall into that category, and even newer instruments will often be labeled as such by sellers.

How do I know the serial number of my guitar?
