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.

Sunn Solarus Tube Guitar Amp 1967 Silver Face w / Pedal Serviced and Working 100%

Cherry Valley, New York, 133**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$3000

The replacement transformer was a little bit taller than the original, so the cabinet was notched out as seen in the 2nd photo. This unit is from 1967 as from the date stamps on the speakers, as well as a hand written note found taped to the top of the amp. Please be advised, I WILL NOT SHIP THIS ITEM. This is listed as local pickup only, if you want it ... more
