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.

I will be the first to tell you that I know nothing about this guitar in regard to production, why it was made, did it sell well, or was it popular. Some say it's sought after for it's low production numbers
But, I can say, it appears to be rare and collectors like them a lot. This one was owned by a friend of mine that was in a Chicago band years ago and it was played and loved. In the 90's the guitar ... more

1968 Epiphone El Dorado FT-90 Sunburst Vintage

Brooklyn, New York, 112**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$2450

This listing is for a 1968 Epiphone El Dorado FT-90 Acoustic Guitar. This is a lovely playing and sounding instrument that was made by Gibson in Kalamazoo in 1968. The guitar would be considered a player grade guitar and has had some past repairs but is playing great now and is ready to go. The guitar plays great with low and comfortable action and the neck is straight. I'm not sure exactly why but the truss rod is very difficult to turn and does not adjust easily. Currently however it is ... more

Epiphone Triumph Cutaway 1961 Kalamazoo, USA made by GlBSON

Oakland, California, 946**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$3450

Gibson had bought the Epiphone Company in about 1957, and for some years continued to make Epi models in Kalamazoo that very closely resembled the older ones from New York, perhaps the main difference being the addition of the Gibson truss rod, which was far superior to that previously used by Epiphone. This Triumph Regent (cutaway) was made in 1961 and has survived in close to new condition for over 60 years. There is minor finish checking, which is pretty much a hallmark of Gibsons of this ... more

These came as standard equipment on some Japan Epiphone guitars, also Aria, Penco, Univox & Greco models. It's a difficult set to find these days as a result of limited production. These are very strong pickups with 2-conductor wiring so installation is a breeze. The neck pickup registers a robust 11 57k on my trusty meter and the bridge is even stronger at 12 15k. Very powerful and airy tone without harshness or stray noise. The bezels measure 3 9 / 16" by 1 13 / 16" ... more
