4.0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive book, May 17, 2002
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
The book is fairly comprehensive and has an adequate description of the guitars and features. Some guitars are not listed, and some of the models are hard to look up when a company makes a wide variety of models. The book seems to get superseded pretty quickly but is much cheaper than some of the other guides out there. Hopefuly the book is accurate, since it lists an imported Ovation guitar as having a solid top when most of those models are known to have plywood tops. If you buy the book on CD, the user interface is awkward.

5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book, December 27, 2005
This review is from: Blue Book of Acoustic Guitars, 9th Edition (Blue Book of Acoustic Guitars) (Paperback)
I use this book along with the Blue Book of Electric Guitars from the same publisher as a reference and starting point to price vintage guitars to purchase for my collection. I have found this book to be an excellent source for model information as well as a price point reference. I am not sure I would wish to venture into this collecting field without a reference such as this. I highly recommend both books to anyone interested in buying or selling a vintage guitar.
