Can a professional go buy a brand new professional grade guitar that sounds as good or better than some old war horse Gibson?

Again, I am completely ignorant of it all. I was just curious why the old guitars are so sought after. I can understand the desire to have a guitar that was once played by a famous person. That is just a rare collectible, it does not make it a better instrument than a new one.
For the most part the pros are sponsored and there guitars are hand built in a custom shop... not an off the shelf guitar.

Think of pro athletes and shoes.
