5 Vintage Guitars Worth Buying!

Would definitely love to see a video on MIJ vs CIJ.

I’d like to submit late 70s Guild S-300D. Made in USA. Excellent quality. Ebony board, great electronics. Absolute sleepers at ~$1-2K.

I think it would be very interesting and helpful to know all the different meanings between crafted in Japan, and made in Japan and other stuff Japan. Good video thank you.

Alex, I just wanted to tell you what a pleasure it was to meet you yesterday at the Carolina Guitar Show in Asheville… I appreciate the time you took looking at my T-60… I ultimately decided that it was worth more to me staying a part of my collection rather than flipping or selling… I met some fellows from Columbia SC that are T-60 collectors and their knowledge and sincerity (as well as yours) really went a long way to helping me make my decision. I feel that these are on the brink of becoming super collectible (at least the ones like mine in a rare finish and in really fine condition). Many of the dealers liked the guitar and before we had lunch, we put it back in the truck to take it home. It’s satisfying to me seeing a younger version of myself (I started buying, flipping, and collecting guitars in the mid 70’s while on the road making a living playing music) and it makes me feel the future of vintage guitars and gear is in a good place! I hope to see you at Nashville! Mike Ward

This was great fun. Thanks so much. I hope to get to your shop someday.

Thanks Alex, great video! Speaking of the Japan market, I really love the 70's Greco Super Sounds Strats as well - just incredible guitars!

Love your output

Love it, I'll keep my eyes out for those MIJs

Great presentation. I have had most vintage equipment and your videos are accurate. I always sell to other musicians usually under what i paid. Thanks again

As a common working man, I can't afford even any of those. I been buying any great condition Sire guitars and Samack, they are clearly extremely well made, reasonable and I think are future SLEEPERS that will increase as musicians see how good they are 😊

Thank for sharing, Alex. The advice on MusicMan is very wise. What do you think about vintage Hofner solidbodies, still under the radar price wise but I see more and more players begin to appreciate them

What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend Alex ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Great post please do that Japan video we don’t see many older models here in the uk 👍👍

yes please on that MIJ CIJ vid!!

Gibson 1954 j160e first year model is really cool. I have my dad's from that year.

Does the MIJ include Squier from the early 80’s? I just picked up a 1985-86 Squier A series 3 bolt neck strat. I love it. Plays perfect and sounds unbelievable! Would love to see a vid on early MIJ JV, SQ and A prefix series Strats from Fender and Squier!

Please do a Japan series they're very mysterious built well we all wonder why.

I love my J45, she is a 1961. People complain about the bridge, but on my Susan the intonation is on to the 12th fret. I also play an ES125 from 1952. It plays like a dream. The frets are drawn on with magic marker, but it is so comfortable and the sound is awesome though a GA5 Skylark or Epiphone Pacemaker

Would love to see a video about Japanese Fenders, in fact would love to see a video about Japanese 'lawsuit' Les Pauls - I have a couple of Burny ones from the '90s, so not vintage yet! 😁

Dean Balin played a Music Man Sabre through a Twin on "Escape (The Pina Colada Song)". I always thought that tone was fantastic.
