What are the differences between early guitars and modern guitars?

Probably the pickups. Earlier guitars have single coil pickups which give a little more feedback in overdrive, but newer guitars have humbuckers that improve on less feedback and better tone and clarity. Thats if the guitars are electric. If they were acoustic, the changes would probably be lesser. Maybe just changes in structure that would have a better sound overall than earlier versions.
