Instead of the standard 440hz, all the older instruments were created for a 432hz tuning as opposed to 440hz, like instruments have been since the mid 60's, so Mike's guitars being made in 1959 were made for 432hz tuning. Stradivarius Violins were tuned to 432hz, as were many great instruments.

This would have a much bigger effect on acoustic instruments and even then it would be so subtle they you'd likely not hear a difference in a guitar made for one standard over the other. I've read up on this phenomenon some and infinitely more on the specs of older electric guitars and I've never heard of any correlation.
That's not to say that 432hz recordings wouldn't be an interesting listen, but I think the only feasible way would be to slow the album down a hair.
I've tuned my acoustic guitar to 432hz and it was a cool sound. Some of the extra body that tuning down 1/2 step, but without the sloppy strings or boominess. There was no magical rainbows or hand of God reaching down to grab me.
