“The Official Vintage Guitar Price Guide is essential for anyone who loves and plans to acquire vintage guitars. Simple, straightforward, and always accurate, The Guide is good fun to browse through, too. It’s the grimoire you can’t do without. I can’t do without mine!” – Joe Satriani
“There are prices I’ll remember all my life, though some have changed – due to the recession, the recovery, greater demand, less demand, level of excellence and originality, who the President is, and whether or not Justin Bieber might have been recently seen using one. When I need to know accurate market value, I turn to my Official Vintage Guitar Price Guide, which is never faw from my paw, and lingers near my fingers.” – Stan Jay, Mandolin Brothers
“The Official Vintage Guitar Price Guide is like the Dow Jones of the guitar market. We rely on it for pricing, trends, and guitar and amp valuations. All guitarists have an opinion about value, yet everyone agrees there is only one Guide – the standard you can’t live without.” – David Kalt, Chicago Music Exchange
“Go with your gut, then crack open The Guide for a reality check! An invaluable tool for any dealer, collector, or novice, its prices are the result of meticulous data collection that helps determine real-market values for excellent-condition instruments. It tracks annual value fluctuations and keeps all of us on our toes!” – Andrew Winn, Drew’s Vintage Guitars
Alan Greenwood launched Vintage Guitar magazine in 1986. Vintage Guitar is the largest monthly publication for guitar collectors, enthusiasts, and dealers. He also publishes Vintage Guitar® Online at www.VintageGuitar.com, and the free twice-monthly email newsletter VG Overdrive, The Official Vintage Guitar Price Guide. His collection includes several vintage instruments from the ’20s to the ’80s, as well as newer production and custom-made guitars, amps, effects, lap steels, and ukuleles. He lives in Bismarck, North Dakota.Gil Hembree began collecting guitars in 1966 while working at Kitt’s Music, in Washington, D.C. Familiarity with the professional musicians playing on Georgetown’s M-Street allowed him to dabble in early buy-sell, but his academic interest in finance led to a corporate job in Michigan. Throughout his financial career he played in bands and searched for original-owner vintage guitars in Flint, Saginaw, Bay City, Port Huron, Pontiac, Battle Creek, and Kalamazoo. In 2000, freshly retired from corporate finance, he became the co-author of the Official Vintage Guitar Price Guide. In 2007, the Hal Leonard Corp. released his biography of Ted McCarty: Gibson Guitars: Ted McCarty’s Golden Era: 1948-1966. After residing in Michigan for 35 years, Hembree and his wife, Jane, relocated to Austin, Texas.
One Comment
Last year was the first year I purchased the Vintage Guitar price guide, and because of it, I found a heck of a deal on a 1964 Fender Deluxe Amp, for $800.00, and in the condition it’s in, the price guide says it’s worth $2300.00. I think I got a pretty good deal on it, and it has started me on the path towards vintage collecting. I just pre-ordered the 2013 Price Guide, and I just want to say, order it now, because with the savings on the pre-order, as well as the free shipping, you’re saving about $12.00! That’s a Heck of a great deal, Thank you Vintage Guitar!!
