Guitar makers have advertised in music magazines such as Down Beat, Guitar Player and very many more. Some manufacturers advertised widely (Guild, Gibson, Fender) but many more didn't and adverts are few and far between. Here are some of my favourite ads out of the ones i've seen. You can browse through all the images from the category links above, or by manufacturer from the links below.

It??s in fantastic condition given it??s age- i??d be surprised if there was a better example not just in the UK but globally. The electrics have been serviced recently and it has also been professionally set up. The guitar and case are all completely original. There are some
light scuffs on the guitar as shown in the photos but could easily pass for a guitar 10 years old not 60! The case has some more heavy scuffs on ... more
