| I'm a private guitar collector interested in vintage instruments by Gibson, Fender, Martin, Gretsch, Epiphone, National, Dobro, Rickenbacker made from 1920 to 1969. I collect information about these guitars, and of course the guitars themselves. (This includes both electric and acoustic vintage guitars.) This site is a "labor of love", and has lots of information and pictures of vintage guitars. You may have to dig deep into the site to find an exact model, but everything should be here about any particular vintage Gibson, Fender, Martin, National, Dobro, Gretsch, Epiphone guitar. Note this is not a commercial site, so you won't find anything for sale here. But if you are interested in selling a vintage guitar from one of the above manufacturers, click on that vintage guitar make for more information on your model. Then contact me with what you have. I generally pay anywhere from $100 to $30,000 for old vintage guitars. Note I am not a dealer! Please contact me if you have any instruments for sale. |
