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.

1977 - 1978 Music Man NAMM show Catalog packet Owned by Leo Fender Never opened

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

$100

This listing is for one (1) Music Man Catalog packet put together for the NAMM International Music Expo June 1978. This was made upon launch of the Sabre Guitar model (the bass came out in 1979), before they had a chance to have new catalogs printed to feature the new model. They used the leftover 1977 catalog and included a slick introducing the Sabre guitar. I purchased this with a large quantity of Leo Fender's personal files. He had a file of catalogs that he would dip in to and give to ... more

Music Man Vintage Sabre II Electric Guitar .. Nice Condition

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 152**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$1400

This is a vintage Music Man Sabre II electric guitar. The guitar is fully functional, plays really nice, and is in nice shape for its age. Pretty sure it dates to 1978. There is some normal cosmetic wear throughout the guitar but as you can see from the pictures, there's nothing really notable about the cosmetic wear. It looks to me as though a previous owner may have removed the lacquer from the back of the neck but it's possible that only the headstock was lacquered originally (really ... more

Obviously pre-Ernie Ball, this was designed by the great man himself, Leo Fender, who described it as "the best guitar he'd ever designed " .
