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.

1967 Rickenbacker 450-12

Edgewater, Florida, 321**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$2795

1967 Rickenbacker 450 12 string Fireglo. Lots of wear on this one but it plays good for a 12 string. Pickups both work.

I thought about parting it out since the pickups are so valuable but hate to do that to an old instrument like this. Comes with original case that is in great condition and it does not smell.... more
