Product Description
Industry experts have long considered The Official Vintage Guitar Price Guide to be the most accurate, authoritative and detailed publication to tackle the seemingly indomitable task of placing values on thousands of vintage and recent-model guitars, amps, basses, effects pedals, mandolins, lapsteels and other fretted instruments. Now in its 12th edition, the new Guide offers more than ever. Authors Alan Greenwood and Gil Hembree have made their ultimate guide to values even more valuable, with more details on familiar favorites and background on nearly 130 brands never before included in any price guide. Plus, we've added 45 more pages and 100 more photos (nearly 700 in all!) showing all forms of vintage instruments, amps and effects. The Guide combines the most thorough research with an exceptionally user-friendly format that employs quick-find page headings, a comprehensive index, and a dealer directory that puts you just an e-mail or phone call away from guitar sellers in every region of the country. Also included is an in-depth look at the factors that drive the collectible instrument market, explaining the "hows and whys" in regard to the values of vintage and used equipment.

 Vintrage guitar buyer's bible February 6, 2007

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. January 9, 2007

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.

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.
A must for music collectors and guitar players alike. March 6, 2007
Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA)

This music collector's reference represents the only volume covering all the collectible guitars of the industry, and sets industry standards when it comes to determining market values of collectible guitars. Both musicians and collectors will want to keep this guide at hand: it blends quick-find page headings and an index and dealer directory for the entire country with an examination of what makes a guitar collectible. Add black and white photos and paragraphs of maker and model history and you have a price guide which can't be beat: a must for music collectors and guitar players alike.
Great Book April 1, 2000

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.
