Vintrage guitar buyer's bible
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 18 years ago
As I begin to watch for vintage guitars popping up in the odd places in the hope of finding a bargain, this book is very helpful. Already it kept me from overpaying by several hunderd dollars for one guitar. Of course, most of the popular Gibson [35 pages] and Fender [26 pages] guitars get lots of coverage and, while not authorative on every manufacturer, model and year (how could one source have it all?) Greenwood's reference book has proven very valuable. All the photos are B/W, there is not a photo of every model of every manufacturer; but in fairness, I would not have spent what that book would have cost. All-in-all, excellent. Buy it while it's still current.
Get's better every year.

Having been a guitar maker and repairman for 38 years I have come to rely on the "Price Guide" since it's inception. When used with "Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars" I can pinpoint the date the guitar was made, identify make and model fairly accurately and get a good idea of value. This has been a great help in evaluating the over 200 guitars I've collected in the past several years. Each year the "Price Guide" is expanded to include additional makes and models of guitars and this newest volume is no exception.
Vintage Guitar Price Guide

Absolutely a must if you are interested in investing, collecting, or knowing about vintage guitars. The best and most used "Blue Book". Very easy to use and very complete in its valuation of various models. Maybe more pictures would help but it is already quite a substantial book. I refer to it with every purchase and sales of a vintage (and not so vintage) guitar. I get one every year and have tracked the increase in value of many of my favorite models. Also helpful in establishing values for insurance purposes.
Great Book

This is a great book for any guitar lover, or even someone who's just starting out. I found it very usefull. Another thing that I liked about this book was that it had many rare guitars that aren't in other books.
