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.

Vintage 1985 G&L USA Invader RARE Hot Pink Finish!!!

Memphis, Tennessee, 381**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$3250

Here's a rare one for G&L fans. Genuine made in the USA Invader from 1985. Black hardware was an option which goes well with the original Hot Pink finish. The finish is original, but has faded over time to a very cool Salmon color. I photographed it in sun and also with overcast lighting to give you an idea of how cool it looks.

G&L SC-3 Yellow late 1980s Vintage Leo Fender Era

London, E15***, UNITED KINGDOM

£1435

G&L sc-3, I think it's an 88 based on the body shape. Everything works perfectly and its a really high quality, well put together guitar. Mfd pickups sound awesome, and the dual fulcrum tremolo is smooth and responsive. Locking tuners and roller nut also on here, a premium and well thought out guitar and you can feel it when you play it. In terms of condition its very tidy for the age, I've seen far newer guitars looking way worse for wear.
I'd much prefer collection, but if you wanna ... more
