Vintage electric guitars are of interest to both collectors and enthusiasts. On the one hand, vintage guitars excite collectors because they can be worth quite a deal of money and are a solid investment because they will most likely appreciate. On the other hand, vintage guitars are worth the investment to the enthusiast because of the tonal sounds they give. Interested in learning more about the value of vintage guitars--particularly electric ones?
Some important things to look at when buying a vintage guitar are:
- The finish: Does it look like it has been used or does it look brand new? It's likely that a guitar may have been refurbished (and, as a result, not be as valuable) if it looks as new as this year's model guitar.
- Hardware: Does the guitar have a worn control plate, neck plate, pickups, tuning pegs and the like? If the guitar you're looking into does, then it is likely these parts have never been replaced and the guitar is more valuable.
- The neck: The neck on an electric guitar is crucial to its sound. When buying vintage pieces, it is also crucial to its value. Be sure to check if there is any curve in the neck of the guitar as this may signal a problem you'll need to worry about since older guitars can't be repaired haphazardly (or at a small cost).
- Tune: It is important, if possible, to try and play a vintage guitar before purchasing it. If the guitar won't stay in tune, this can signal a loose neck or other structural problems with the guitar that may make it not worth the investment.
- Price: It is important to remember when looking to buy a vintage guitar that just because something is expensive doesn't mean that it is worth the price. Remember to research what you're looking to buy against the market to make sure you are getting a great deal.
