Value of my vintage Gibson guitar?
Anybody have a ballpark estimate for the value of my old Gibson guitar with serial number 70078254?? I got it as a gift from a family friend with the original case. I'd say the guitar is in average shape, it's playable and sounds fantastic. All original with minimal wear and tear. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
I know what the serial numbers mean, just want to know the approximate value.
Wow Jonathan, this is the worst advice ever. Guitars are just as collectable as anything else, in their own market. A quality rare guitar can sell for thousands, hundreds of thousands if a famous musician used it. Will a pawn shop owner know or care? No!
The best way to get an estimate for your guitar's value is to get it appraised at a vintage dealer, probably hard to do if you don't live in NYC or Nashville. May also give the gibson forums a shot, some user may have sold a similar guitar on there. http://www.gibson.com/relations/forum/index.asp
The guitars generally considered vintage, however, were manufactured between the early 20's to the early 70's. Guitars before the early 20's are not considered very playable, and post early 70's guitars saw the introduction of mass production, which lowers their rarity. No easy way to tell, unfortunately, but hopefully that will give you a start.
