Cameron H asked:


did the famed “black face” fender amps actually have a black grill cloth? I have never seen a fender amp with a black grill cloth except those cheap solid state ones. All of the vintage fender tube amps I’ve seen have all had a silver grill cloth

My Grandfather owned a music business and I have found boxes of all size vintage Sunn amp covers, all kinds of guitar picks from a lot of makers. Some Martin also. I have brochures on stratocasters, Fender Mustang and Fender Amps. Also, instructions on how to fix all kinds of different vintage guitars,amps and more. Cases of never used vinatge guitar strings and some vintage tuners. Almost everything is in original cases,boxes and are in good condition. Some excellent. I think there might be some vintage parts and fret boards also. Is there anyway to know if these things are collectible or worth much?

Vintage guitars, and some vintage amps, often are priced far higher than new guitars. Why is that? I’ve always felt that as technology improves the quality of a modern guitar should be better, too. I know that mass manufacturing versus handcrafted is an issue, but some new boutique guitars are still handcrafted.
