The Definitive Guitar Collector and Dealer Pricing Guide

If you love guitars, just buy it as a reference for estimating value or filling in the cracks of your knowledge. I exchanged emails with Gil as he has seen a few of my git-fiddles. A cheap and wise investment!

Lots of info

This is an indispensable reference for guitar collectors. That said, it is not perfect, only one tool for basing values. Ebay is the value setter for any collectable since it encompasses a worldwide market. This edition did not accurately reflect the increase in values for some Fender products, for example. Overall, it has a lot of good info on an amazing variety of popular and obscure guitars, basses, amps and effects.

Prices are offered for those in excellent condition by 'low' and 'high' prices & are arranged by m

Vintage Guitar Magazine has been the source for pricing thousands of guitars over the decades, and this expanded 2006 edition of Official Vintage Guitar Magazine Price Guide 2005: The Only Complete Guide provides the latest details. Prices are offered for those in excellent condition by 'low' and 'high' prices and are arranged by maker for quick and easy location. Small black and white photos of guitars appear on every page; but it's the values, notes and company histories which make this price guide so invaluable.

Couldn't Afford Not To Own It!

I've bought the last 3 versions of this book. I made sure Gil signed this current edition for me. Because of this book I have made a small fortune buying and selling old guitars. Thank you Gil and Alan! From Mark Sternal Author of "GUITAR: Total Scales Techniques and Applications" "GUITAR: Probable Chords" "Complete Guitar By Ear" and, "The Twelve Notes Of Music"
