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.

$1650

On offer is a beautiful Music Man 1977 Sting Ray 1 guitar which has been stored in its original case and played fewer than 10 times in 25 years.

Musicman Stingray 11 Electric Guitar (Not Bass) USA 1978 Quite Rare & Fantastic
I've had this guitar for 16 years, bought it from Bonecat in Middleton, Manchester. Best guitar I've ever owned but bass is my thing & I've just bought an Ovation Magnum, I promised myself one in, one out at the moment so I'm trying to make myself sell this.

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 " . This is of the instruments Leo Fender designed and made with his new company ... more
