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.

1981 G&L L1000 L2000 Bass Pickup Cover Black

Greenwood, Indiana, 461**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$35

This listing is for one (1) G&L Bass L series pickup cover. This was pulled from the first batch to arrive to be inspected by Leo Fender to assure it was within specified tolerances and appearance. In 1991 BBE tossed out a bunch of seemingly unimportant stuff to make space for their stuff. Amongst those items was a box of samples for inspection. It isn't special in any other way except for that. Has wear and tear from being with other parts moved around the country several times in 35 years.... more

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
