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.

Shin-ei FY2 Kimbara Fuzz Box Guitar Pedal

Bournemouth, BH6***, UNITED KINGDOM

£188

The legendary ?chainsaw?? fuzz as used by lots of big names. I??ve played lots of clones and the original has a presence and clarity to my ears that no modern pedal quite reaches. Really aggressive but somehow very musical at full tilt, roll back the guitar volume and you??ve got furry mellow stoner fuzz and synth-like bass. I love this pedal but I have another so this is spare. This one has been treated to fresh wiring, footswitch, pots (so it looks) and jacks. More reliable as the old 70s ... view on ebay

"Kimbara" Stratocaster electric guitar with Fender decals

Tavistock, PL19***, UNITED KINGDOM

£411

I bought this many years ago from ebay. It was described as a 1970's Kimbara Stratocaster with Fender decals; the decals and neck plate were added by the previous owner so I have no provenance as to its Kimbara origins, although it appears to be the same as other natural finish Kimbara strats I have seen advertised. These were built in the 1970s by Fujigen. It is very heavy for a Strat and has quite a few chips, scratches and marks on the body. It would appear that the tuners have been replaced ... view on ebay
