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.

Silvertone Model #1440 Teisco MIJ Mosrite-style vintage DC '60s - sunburst

Lynn, Massachusetts, 019**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$380

One of the most playable examples of these old MIJ guitars I've had my hands on. Low action all the way up the fretboard. Neck is straight (not 100% perfect, but really good for its age), frets are excellent, electronics are clean. New D'Addario 10s. Plenty of expected cosmetic wear throughout. Dings and scratches. Nothing major. It's missing the trem arm and spring. I see a replacement on Amazonf for $8 under "Bstinay Chrome Plated Tremolo Arm " . Not sure if the V / T knobs are replacement. ... more
