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.

$899

FREE SHIPPING Any questions, just ask ;)
Appears to be all original, except for the tuners, they've been replaced, and the original holes were filled in There is a thin hairline crack near the High E tuner, but doesn't effect the guitar at all Plays great, it has very low frets, which is why it feels like a Les Paul fret-less wonder Shows lots of MOJO wear throughout, I've circled in yellow; the bigger nicks Lots of buckle wear
But in very good condition, and a solid guitar, considering ... more

1980s GUITAR HUMBUCKER PICKUP SET OF 2 NECK & BRIDGE JAPAN EPIPHONE ARIA UNIVOX

Berlin, New Hampshire, 035**, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

$89

FREE USA SHIPPING!
These came as standard equipment on some Japan Epiphone guitars, also Aria, Penco, Univox & Greco models. It's a difficult set to find these days as a result of limited production. These are very strong pickups with 2-conductor wiring so installation is a breeze. The neck pickup registers a robust 11 57k on my trusty meter and the bridge is even stronger at 12 15k. Very powerful and airy tone without harshness or stray noise. The bezels measure 3 9 / 16" by 1 13 / 16" ... more

Univox Custom DC doulbe-cut vintage MIJ w / SKB case '60s - sunburst

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

$475

Fun guitar. Works well overall, but I believe the truss nut is stripped. Alternatively I don't have the correct wrench. Not sure about the functionality of the truss rod itself. The action is very playable (see video) and the neck is pretty straight with slight relief. Definitely not 100% straight. The frets look good with a little wear in 1st position. Plenty of life left. Electronics are clean and work as expected. Cosmetically pretty clean with some dings, scratches, and wear throughout. New ... more

Tune in with this hip hollowbody from the 60's! Labeled Maxitone this guitar is identical to many Aria and Univox guitars as they were all made in the Matsumoku guitar factory in Japan.
