Just wondering…..is there a rule/law? I have a 1980 Fender stratocaster and it is 30 years old…when will it qualify to be called a “vintage”?

Sam B asked:


I have a Gibson Classical Acoustic guitar that my mom got in ’74 I believe, & I was just wondering how much it’s worth. I don’t know the exact model, & all I can tell you is that it’s in bad condition; there’s a huge ***** in the front, scratches all over, but it still plays (& sounds like crap). I took it up to guitar center to see if they could fix it up at all, & they gave me an estimate for how much it’s worth (or at least how much they’d pay for it) & it shocked me, but I’m just looking for a 2nd opinion. Oh, & by the way, all you vintage guitar collectors shouldn’t get your hopes up–it’s not for sale. This is just pure curiosity. And after I get a few answers, I’ll tell you how much guitar center said it was worth.

Mike M asked:


I haven’t decided on what to get… a Les Paul or maybe a Gibson… I need some advice on Vintage Guitars as well as a good selection… and of course good prices.. Where should I look?

alex m asked:


I just traded my guitar teacher a Burstbucker for a pair of old Gibson humbuckers that he thought were ’73 stock but actually turned out to be an original ’58 PAF humbucker and a 1959-1962 PAT NO. 2,737, 842. I’m not sure they’re actually the models I think they are but all evidence points to it. The one that I’m sure is a ’58 PAF has the original “Patent Applied For” sticker on the back. The sticker is very old and brittle and could flake off at any moment. The other humucker has the patent number stamped in the back and wikipedia states that it is a pre-1962 humbucker. I’m not sure if I should sell or keep them. Does anybody know how much I could get for them?
