COLLECTIBLE
VINTAGE GUITARS: FENDER, MARTIN, GIBSON, RICKENBACKER, GRETSCH
INFORMATION & HISTORY |
|
| Many
musicians and collectors assign extraordinary values to guitars
made from the mid 1920's into 1970's. Guitars produced prior to
the mid 1920's are mostly considered too primitive in design for
most collectors. Guitars made after 1970, even though they are
over 30 years old, have not attained much collectible appeal today
although that of course could change in the future. Many of the
well known U.S. guitar manufacturers were suffered signficant
downturns in their business in the 1970's, following the boom
of the rock 'n roll boom years. Many were either acquired by larger
corporate conglomerates which often sought to maximize output
at the expense of quality, and much of their quality and choice
of materials had become sub-standard to the vintage guitar designs.
Collector interest is strongest in vintage guitars and instruments
made by Gibson, Fender, Martin, Rickenbacker, Gretsch, Epiphone,
National, Danelectro, Dobro, D'Angelico, and Stromberg from 1920
to 1970. This includes both electric and acoustic vintage guitars.
Now, enjoy featured
stories that explore the history and instruments of the most
famous guitar makers during this exciting musical period of
creativity and innovation: Fender,
Gibson,
and Martin,
and thanks for visiting and shopping at Collectics!
