4.0 out of 5 stars Great resource for buying & selling guitars, August 25, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Blue Book of Electric Guitars (Paperback)

I spend a lot of time looking for deals on used & vintage guitars on Guitarauction.com. I've found this book to be a great resource in that it lets me know all the going prices for thousands of different guitars so that I know what a good deal is when I see one.

By	W. Kelly - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Blue Book of Electric Guitars, 9th Edition (Blue Book of Electric Guitars) (Paperback)

I use this book as a reference in pricing. I have found it to be a very valuable tool for a starting point on pricing. Also, I have found it to be a very handy reference to locate model information without having to go to several sources. I highly recommend this book to anyone interested in collecting or buying vintage guitars.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not your grandfathers NADA blue book, August 2, 2006

By	Lee R. Castens "Grizzled Bear" (Colorado Rockies) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Blue Book of Electric Guitars, 9th Edition (Blue Book of Electric Guitars) (Paperback)

This book is great not just prices but a ton of knowledge that is extremely helpful... What to watch for and how to verify it... There are always those that try to get a little more than they deserve in any business... After reading this books hints and tips it is like you have twenty years experience in buying selling trading guitars... Many of my long time guitar experience friends are amazed when I come up with things that even they didn't know... Like serial codes that indentify what country their guitars were made... One of the biggest bang for the buck books I have bought in a long time...
