I had a question, you might be able to answer...I heard that electric guitar sales because really popular in the 1960s (especially in '64 w/ the Beatles playing Fenders)
Do you have any idea where I could find a year by year list of the number of electric guitars sold year by year in the 60s.
--RC of strangeculture.blogspot.com
i dont know where to get such info , but you can try a vintage guitar price guide which lists years of all electric guitars not only gibson but fender, gretsch, rickenbacker, and many more .
Gibson 335 s Deluxe. This guitar came in many colors. There is the tobacco "sunburst," a greenish "sunburst," and a red. I believe the natural finish of the "Firebrand" model may also have come in a deluxe.
those were custom colors that were made in fewer numbers ,i wrote it at the bottom of the page.
I have a 1964 Gibson SG Completely original from factory with six digit serial number made before John Lennons guitar which sold recently for 567,000.00 dollars. I am Interested in selling it. History about guitar. I was told that it had appeared on the ed sullivan show at one time.
Hi,
one question for you gibson experts. A friend of mine bought (early 90's) a Gibson guitar that I've never been able to identify. Still I'm curious to know what it was. It was a black Gibson, with a body not too different from a fender (tele). It had white binding around the body and it has a headstock a bit similar to the one of explorer, that is fenderish but pointy...Any clue?
i cant think of any gibson electric guitar with a fender style tele body from the ninies ,
basically this site covers older gibson guitars however some of our viewers might know .....
i have an exployer has two single coils one humbucker with kayler pro whammy coil tap volumne button three switches for pick ups lock nut and is gothic color i bought it back in early 1980 new i have never seen another like it does anyone know anything about this guitar?
During the eighties gibson made many versions of the explorer , they were quite popular , but some of them never caught on and didnt last long on the market .
Im pretty sure you have the explorer III model with the black hardware and kahler vibrato systems which were made only in 1985 .
If you have this guitar its valued at $650 to $800
PS : You can tell the exact year by the serial number ...
Hi, I have a little mystery to figure out. I can't identify my sg...help. The serial number is 835467 with no made in usa stamp. It has a lyre plate below the whammy. Dual chromed pickups. I saw a picture of a 1963 sg std. and it looked identical to it...I'm very confused. Pls. email me at t@cnut.com
T
all gibson sg models with serial numbers stamped in back of the peghead with no made in the usa below it were made in 1961 to 1970 , your serial number indicates that your sg was made in 1966 .
I have a 1981 Gibson Firebird "Tobacco Sunburst". Just wondering what's it worth? Original Paint,case. When will it be considered "vintage"? It has a stamp on the back of the headstock that says "second" because of some flaw in the paint. I couldn't find the flaw. I paid $749 in 1981 for it.
gibson only made 2 firebird guitars during the early 80s ...
the firebird 1 > reissue of the firebird 76 ,
and the firebird 2 with maple body and tp6 tailpieces
These guitars are already somewhat collectable because they didn't make much and were discontinued in 1982 . However the original firebirds are more sought after ( 60s-70s ) and worth much more ...
i have several of the Norlin era Gibsons:
- challenger 1
- marauder
- s-1
- invader
- sonex 180 deluxe
The p-ups require "good" amplification to get good tonality (and some actually sound better through solid-state than tubes (sacrilege . . . )), but the tonal variations on these is hard to recreate today. But the best thing is the necks/frets - which are wide and smooth as silk, no bumpy slides - absolutely the best playing guitars i own - (including a PRS, LP custom, strat, et al) - If you are looking for an LP custom sound then get one - or perhaps put some burstbuckers in one of these . . .
These guys are still relatively cheap and have been going up in price regularly - you can't go wrong -
TOTALLY AGREE ! ... oldies but goodies !
i own 2 marauders and i wouldnt trade them for the world , great guitars to modify ... best part is that you can pick them up for cheap ...
I was on ebay one day just checking out Gibson guitars when I came across a few crazy ones. I kept looking and I found a Gibson "the Paul". I had never heard of one before so I typed it into Google and ur site came up. I actually bought the guitar due to ur info and also some reviews and honestly I am in love. Thanks much
they are great solid guitars ,,, and not expensive at all ..
i have "the paul" guitar, picked it up at $250 back in the eighties and still love it today .. great guitar for the price they are selling today //
I've been searching for info (just curious) about the ES-Artist model in this site with no results.Isn't it already considered "vintage"? (first run was manufactured in 1979 which means 28 years now).
This site is not finished yet ,,, more reviews should be submitted by the end of the month ... The gibson es-artist was introduced in 1979 and was short lived in 1985 ... its valued at $2400 to $2650 assuming its in excellent condition and all original .
Help! i recently bought a Gibson LP Custom, serial number 99215208. the serial number dates to 1975, but my question is.. there is no "made in usa" stamp on it... is that normal? everything i read says it should have a made in usa stamp...
im so concerned, because of all the counterfeits going around.
everything else on the guitar looks legit... just threw me off with the serial number...
please help!
Hi...
I have a 1976 Explorer which is 31 years old now. Do you know how many Gibson produced that year?
Why is the market value low on this guitar.
I have a 1966 Gibson ES 335 TD and just noticed that the headstock logo has no dot over the i in Gibson. Is that common?
yes its common there were some years that had logo changes .
I recently purchased a gibson b-6 lap steel in excellant condition. The best I can tell it is from the mid 50's. The serial number on the headstock is 615222. Is there anything else you can tell me about this guitar?
yeah I had a question. I have a 65 gibson sg standard and was waondering if anybody knew a good place on the web where I can list it to sell. It has its original case and everything.
i was looking to buy either a corvus I or II and found a few here and there going for at least $500-$650. i know they are very unique guitars but are they really worth that much? that and i am 16 and new to the whole vintage thing, owning only a strat thats only a few years old and a seagull acoustic. how can i be sure its not a cheap knock off?
i have a gibson electric with the number 83635519. can some one tell me what it is
im looking for info on a baby-blue ,kalamazoo made in usa is on the face of the head. i know this giutar is at least35 to 40 years old it was my fathers. i remember seeing it since tyhe early 60" there is no #'s on the plate on the back
I had a 1956 Les Paul Special TV I sold 10 years ago for $2000 that was a factory refin. I see the current prices are up to $25,000 now and am shocked. Being a refin what would the guitar be worth at todays prices that won't indicate it in blue books?
I am in the market for a Gibson Les Paul, are there any models to avoid since they have a higher chance of losing value? ie BFG?
I have a small GIBSON electric Hawaiian Guitar with a serial number on the back 481-8. Does anybody have an idea what year it was made?
Hi there .. as far as I can see from the number you wrote your guitar may be from around 1936-37 .. but I am not quite sure .. Is it a lab steel or something ?
i recently saw a concert of huey lewis and the news from the 1980's. chris hayes was playing what appears to be a gibson guitar, but i have never seen one like this. it looked like a les paul jr. double cutaway with wide binding and an explorer headstock. can anyone tell me what this guitar is. thanks,
rockn1
