Why are vintage guitars considered to sound better than modern ones?  

Since technology has improved over the last several decades, shouldn't modern guitars sound better as well?  I understand the concept of limited supply = higher prices but that doesn't explain why so many people claim that their guitars from the 60s or 70s have a superior tone to their modern counterparts (Les Pauls, Stratocasters, White Falcons, etc).

As the wood ages, the tone generated by the wood changes (usually in a desirable manner). Since the wood in older guitars has aged, the tone from that wood "sounds better". Also, when you are dealing with analog circuitry, there are quirky tones and characteristics generated by the components in those older guitars. Since some of those components (pots, caps, etc...) are not used on newer guitars, some ppl claim that the sound isn't as good. A lot of these nuances can be reproduced by digital modeling, but there will always be those who can "tell the difference."
