The bible of guitar pricing
Customer Rating:
I've used this book for years for all my guitar buying and selling needs along with the Vintage Guitar Guide. My only complaint is that they have yet to add many of the smaller niche guitar makers over the years and the burgeoning market in house brands is not well covered ( Airline, Supro, etc). Otherwise it has most of the information you'll ever need. Don't take the pricing as the absolute word though, the market fluctuates a lot and prices can be dramatically above or below what is quoted in this book. Use it as a baseline and you're fine, at least you'll always know if that guitar your friend or neighbor wants to sell you is junk or of some value.
Blue Book of Electric Guitars
Customer Rating:
Needed reference if you have anything to do with guitars. Well done and helps to peg odd guitars.
excellent guide
Customer Rating:
This is an excellent guide for serious buyers & sellers of musical instruments, and gives a fair appraisal of their market's value (in this case, electric guitars) together with historical information & background.
price guide
Customer Rating:
Some prices are above what they actually sell for (priced too high) well some prices are below market on EBAY anyway. Also they need to expand some area's such as Harmony,Yamaha,Taylor and Blueridge,excellent overall guide to Acoustic Guitars aand there prices. Blue book has set the standard for all. They do an excellent job on Gibson and Martin both but too little info on small names. Maybe i should write a book of Yamaha Acoustic Guitars? These are very popular on EBAY and are considered the poor man's Martin,which includes me by the way. Good amount on the history of companies that Manufacture Guitars which i find interesting,facts most people do not know or realize. Gives buyer's the uphand on what price to pay for what condition,as well as an very good examples shown in pictures. I would rate this a 5 but there is too much info missing in there guide which forces me to use several.I wish some day they could make this more complete so i only need to buy one.But otherwise i depend on it. If you do not own this you are either a genius with one of the best memories on this planet or you are operating in the dark ages.
