Black with a white pickguard, three pickups, five-way pickup adjuster, whammy bar. It’s an 80′s vintage Jap-made guitar, which someone told me could probably fetch a thousand dollars. Is that accurate, or not? What could I sell it for?

I was just wondering what this amp would be worth if i were to sell it. Everything on it is completely vintage except for one of the 7 tubes in the back. Yes, that is right, it is a vintage Fender tube amp with the original tubes, and i believe it is a ’62 or ’63. It sounds amazing. Buy, yeah. I was just wondering if anyone had any idea what it would be worth. So, thanks for your help!

i was at a store and saw a fender acoustic for sale. the man said that it was from the 1950s and claimed he checked the Serial #. the S# is 95031185. I checked the fender website but there is only dating for electric guitars. Can anyone help?

Okay, so I’m 15 years old BUT, I have been playing guitar since I was 5 years old, and the only guitars that I own are a squire bullet, (which I hate) and an epiphone hummingbird. (which I love) So i have decided to save my money and get a nice quality electric guitar. I have had my heart set an the fender american vintage ’62 strat reissue ever since I first layed eyes on it at the guitar shop. Then I picked it up and played it, and I just knew that I had to have it. The tone is just PERFECT for my style of music. The only problem is that I can’t get a job because I’m only 15. And my parents aren’t loaded, so they can’t just go and buy me a 2 thousand dollar guitar. So does anybody have any ideas on how I can earn and save up $2000 relatively quickly? Thanks in advance.

I have a Fender Stratocaster and I don’t know if it’s worth one pound or a hundred. It said on the Fender site it’s like 20 – 25 years old. The full information is – Fender Stratocaster, Japan. Serial number E653927.

Cheers.

Love Lies Bleeding asked:

i think they are ok guitars, but they arent the best on my opinion by a long shot. here’s why.

Gibson – they are way overpriced. They are good guitars, but they arent worth 2500 bucks. I would think about buying a les paul if it was like 600, but its not even worth that much. they are also 5 piuunds or so more than any other guitar i have used. and, on top of all that, everyone i know wants one like its their life dream!

Fender – I am not as critical about these guys. they are cheaper priced, but their quality has gone down in the passing years. now a good majority of rtheir guitars are made in mexico and to my stanards many of them barely pass as a starter guitar. i do like the telecaster series-the ones with the humbucker pickups, not singles. i do not like that everyone thinks this is the best brand out there.

now i have to admit the vintage guitars from eachof these brands are probably amazing. i have not tried a vintage but i hear a lot of good stuff about them.

anyway what would I reccomend? i have never had a bad experience with an ibenez guitars (aside from the starter guitar, or the gio series (same thing)) they are made solid and as long as you dont throw it against a wall or anything the paint job wont chip. i reccomend this guitar, and i can honestly say that is the best guitar i have ever played.

the only problem with that guitar is the middle pickup gets in the way, but thats the way i play.

I’m getting a Fender electric guitar for the holidays but I can’t decide what model to pick. Should I get a Fender Vintage Hot Rod ’57 Stratocaster or an Eric Clapton Stratocaster? I love to play tones that range from vintage to metal.

Doug H asked:

I have a 92 telecaster so its already 16 years old, but when will it be vintage. Is there a certain number of years before a guitar is classified as vintage or are only certain models considered vintage? Im just wondering because I was going to sell it but I was wondering if I should hold on to it if it will be vintage and go up in value. Thanks.
