In winemaking a producer "declares " a vintage when wines of that year are exceptional by their usual standards .
So thinking about major guitar manufacturers pre CBS for Fender , pre Norlin for Gibson etc would be a fair shout .
For this to work with guitar companies they would have to admit they have made an awful lot of shit and certain years are definitely worse than others(I'm looking at you 2015 Gibsons!) .
as for the notion that anything pre 1985 or whatever is "vintage" that's just bollocks .
A Marlin Sidewinder will always be a Marlin Sidewinder ...just older .

Yes
Is it possible to get everyone to agree on that definition?
No
Something you want, can't easily find and hadn't been made for over 25 years. Cost, while often high, doesn't define it but they are always valued highly.
Take one of the three things away and the flame of desire will fade.
If you've got a, say a 1973 Fender USA Strat that's all the info you need. Why then tag on 'Vintage' when it adds nothing?
