Used electric guitars are way overpriced. IMHO current guitars, regardless of country of origin (and often price), are of better quality than almost everything built from the 70’s through the end of the 90’s.

Counterpoint is some of the stuff produced in the 70s and 80s was garbage. Now what you do have is survivorship bias, meaning if it lasted this long, it can be reasonably assumed to continue to last. If you got a good one from any period and it is still good now, yeah, its probably worth the price to someome who wants it.
If you come across a true, authenticated 50’s or 60’s instrument that looks in mint condition, be wary. Either the original owner bought it and never learned to play it, or the most likely explanation is that it’s a “dog.” A bad instrument. The good ones are beat to shit. Because they were played. A lot.
