5.0 out of 5 stars Buy this book, December 27, 2005

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

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars price guide, June 13, 2007

By	B. Vinson (Menifee,CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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

Some prices are above what they actually sell for (priced too high) well some prices are below market on EBAY anyway.
Also they need to expand some area's such as Harmony,Yamaha,Taylor and Blueridge,excellent overall guide to Acoustic Guitars aand there prices.
Blue book has set the standard for all.
They do an excellent job on Gibson and Martin both but too little info on small names.
Maybe i should write a book of Yamaha Acoustic Guitars?
These are very popular on EBAY and are considered the poor man's Martin,which includes me by the way.
Good amount on the history of companies that Manufacture Guitars which i find interesting,facts most people do not know or realize.
Gives buyer's the uphand on what price to pay for what condition,as well as an very good examples shown in pictures.
I would rate this a 5 but there is too much info missing in there guide which forces me to use several.I wish some day they could make this more complete so i only need to buy one.But otherwise i depend on it.
If you do not own this you are either a genius with one of the best memories on this planet or you are operating in the dark ages.
