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.

When plugged into an amplifier, this guitar produces the expected sound. I do believe all pick ups are functioning, though I??m not an expert. Note, this guitar may be in need of cleaning or some servicing. A nickel has been placed on the 12th fret to give an idea of the action. This guitar does come with a soft vintage case.

Futurama Sophomore Electric Guitar 60s

Liverpool, L21***, UNITED KINGDOM

£287

Mid 60s Futurama in full working order, you can see from the pictures any issues it might have the biggest is some damage that occurred in transit after I'd sold it on Reverb previously, the trem arm had been pushed through the back

Each saddle has two intonation... more
