Vintage Guitar Identification:

Identifying guitars can be a little tricky at times. For a complete ID, you want to find the maker, model, and the year made. Below are some serial numbers to help you find the year made.  For Martin  guitars that have a serial number, this is straight forward. Other makers, however, changed the pattern, and even repeated serial numbers. For example, a Gibson made in 1967 may have the exact same serial number as one made in 1963. To help identify your guitar, we have a large guitar gallery on our website. We also have over 100 guitar identification books, thousands of photos, and can usually ID a guitar over the phone in just a few minutes.
