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.

1970s SELMER 1x18 + 2x12 CABINET, GOODMANS AUDIOMS, RARE - PRICE REDUCED

Guildford, GU2***, UNITED KINGDOM

£415

It's unclear how many (or how few?) of these cabinets Selmer made in the late 60s or early 70s and they are not listed in catalogues of the period. I've gone right through the Vintage Hofner site to see if there is any mention of them and there isn't. The only other one I'm aware of was listed a few years ago by a dealer in vintage gear who described it as sounding "truly special " . I believe this one dates originally to the early 70s as the Goodmans Audiom 12P speakers have the red labels. ... more
