Everything You Need to Know About Buying a Vintage Guitar

Fortunately there are multiple resources for finding values these days that didn’t used to exist. Check Google, Reverb.com and other online stores to see what list prices are. Make sure you understand the low–mid–high, and average. You can almost always bargain for used models. Keep in mind that condition and model types and specific years can swing a price dramatically, so be sure you’ve done your research and checked it twice. Don’t be afraid to walk away and come back later. I’ve been pretty bummed to lose a guitar in the past, but there are enough great ones out there that you can fill the void in time. That said, honor the feeling if you sense you’re onto something really great and can afford it. If you pay a little too much but enjoy the guitar for a couple decades, who’s to say it was actually “too much”?

It seems safe to assume that anyone reading this column likely knows the basics of late-’50s Gibson Les Paul “Bursts.” Sunburst-finished Les Pauls made between 1958 and late 1960 rank as some of the most coveted of all vintage guitars, and the market for these instruments is mostly made up of well-heeled aficionados who evaluate circulating specimens in terms of originality, pedigree, and caliber of flame top. The market goes up and down in different years, but generally top-tier Bursts with original parts and high-grade maple tops command prices in the $300,000 range.

Moby Selling Nearly 200 of His Personal Drum Machines for Charity

If you want to make electronic music, but you also want to use your hands, an analog synth or drum machine is your best bet to get in the nob-twiddlin' mood. Luckily, Moby is unloading nearly 200 of his favorite drum machines from his personal collection. "This is the equipment I've used to make all my records,” Moby said of the gear. “I have so much equipment and almost all of it has profound sentimental value to me, including synthesizers I started using in the '80s. But rather than keep it all in storage, I want to sell it for a good cause."

The Artist model was the higher-end counterpart to the standard TB1000S Bean model and was distinguished by its carved Hawaiian koa top, and block inlays in the style of a Black Beauty Les Paul Custom. The body shape on both models actually evolved some in their original run. The horns were made a bit larger in mid 1977, and the body made a bit thinner the following year.

For years I wanted to learn to play the guitar. Since I have limited experience, it's a bit daunting. Going to the guitar store I found literally hundreds of acoustic and electric guitars for sale, and no real guide to what's right for a middle aged beginner. I wanted a used acoustic guitar, in case I decided I simply didn't have the commitment or chops. Trying to find a good, reasonable quality guitar was really overwhelming. There are guitars on Craig's list, Reverb, at the guitar centers. New and used. Dozens of manufacturers. How's a rookie to know what to do?

Then in 2004, Maytag, the area's largest employer, packed its refrigerator factory and thousands of jobs off to Mexico. With nothing on the appliance giant's scale to replace it, Galesburg suffered, and Music Makers, still located on Main Street, has struggled even as competitors, one by one, slipped from the scene.
