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.

a friend of mine gave me a Gibson melody maker and according to the serial number its from 1967, made in Nashville U.S.A. its in pretty good condition and im trying to figure out its price range.Its got sort of a wine red paint finish. It also has no pick guard.

Here is the serial number>>00303528

also this info may help.
it says “Made in The U.S.A” on the back of the headstock
both the serial number and the “made in the usa” are imprinted on the headstock(no decal or ink stamp)
AAAHHH!! CORRECTION!! ITS FROM 1976!! NOT 1967!!……….YES…TYPE-O…

d7freestyler asked:


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.

I am planning on buying whole-sale Gibson strings for my new LP std 07 cause they are quite bit cheaper. But I don’t know which one I should get. The choices being 1. Humbucker 2. brite wires 3.vintage. I am not quite sure which one comes with my LP. But I did notice the original strings are actually different on LP standards at GC. So what are the essential difference between them?? Which is the best? Thanks!
I am only interested in Gibson strings. By LP Std, I mean a gibson Les paul standard.

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.
