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.

Epiphone Guitar Vintage Acoustic With Case Made In Japan I Think It's A FT-135

Citrus Heights, California, 956**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$575

Thank you for looking at this acoustic guitar auction. This is a fantastic acoustic guitar made by Epiphone. Sounds actually fantastic. Has a great case with it. Nice hard case comes with it but I can't tell what the model number is in here. Looks like somebody tried to clean the inside label and they rubbed off a lot of the stuff in there so I can't tell what the model number is. But it sounds good. It seems to be in good shape. There's a couple of little nicks and bruises on it, but that's ... more

Epiphone FT 85 Serenader 12 String Acoustic Guitar 1966 1969 PLAYERS

Utica, New York, 135**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$850

Heres a very players grade vintage epi. Serial puts it at 1966 or 1969. Despite its appearance it sounds and plays great! I have absolutely no idea whats up with the top and why it has the atypical rosette and border inlays. Its possible it was retopped? Unfortunately I bought this in a lot and the previous knew nothing about its history. It has lots of over spray on sides back and areas of neck. Not sure why as I didnt notice signs of cracks. Assume the worst though, as the overspray on the ... more
