Im looking for a good vintage guitars forum. I have an old 1960s Gibson SG that I need to find out the exact year. I need a good knowledgable forum where people can help me out. Thanks
Oh, and in response to that first answer, the serial number is extremely faded. it was when they used to press the number into the actual wood.

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.

Jonny Q asked:


I was at a flea market and this guy had some old stuff, had a creme colored strat and a and a vintage 60s era Lea Paul, looked pretty good and he had the original case, he wanted $200 for it. I still have to play it before I consider buying it. I know that vintage guitars (especially strats and Les Pauls) can be pretty valueable. I already have a one year old Squire strat (made by Fender) and I’m happy with it, but I’d like a Les Paul and vintage just makes it cooler (to me). Anyways, assuming it plays well and is in good condition, is it worth the $200? I don’t know the exact model as I’m not an expert on any brand or model, but in general what is a Les Paul from the 60s (playable and in good condition) worth now?
