They definitely would yeah. It's a bit like with guitars, people pay over the top amounts for electric guitars built to be exactly like the originals in the 50s-60s.

An example of this is the paint. The more expensive guitars today have the same type of paint as.these older era guitars. The irony is that this paint is arguably weaker and more prone to cracking than the newer paints. People like the paint for the cracking that will come in time, and arguably for the greater tone it provides (which I personally don't buy into.)

You can get a newer cheaper guitar with arguably superior wiring, paint, frets etc than an original, but the cheaper guitar wasn't the exact type played by Jimi Hendrix.

(For the record I do like both modern and old guitars, and G shock and mechanical watches)
