clipped from: gibsonguitarsforsale.com The quality of the Vintage Gibson guitars is well known and if they are in first class, original condition they are increasing in value year by year.
What is not always recogized is that not all Vintage Gibsons are as valuable as people think. Your Gibson guitar may have been built between 1930 and 1970 but it is the market that will determine the price.
With that in mind I have prepared a short list of some of the more sought after models. This is by no means an extensive list but it will give you an idea in which direction to look if you are a collector of Vintage Gibson guitars.
Explorer Electric Solidbody from 1958 to 1963
L-00 Flattop from 1932 to 1945
L-5CES (cutaway) Electric Archtop from 1950’s
The most collectible Gibson Archtops are the larger models made from the early 1930’s to 1959.
