Collecting Vintage Guitars As an Investment Strategy

By Robert Meyer

Just about every guitar player around wants to pick up a fine vintage instrument. Vintage guitars are a great investment that only increases in value.

Vintage guitars have consistently performed with more stability than the stock market. There are a number of reasons that collecting vintage guitars is an excellent strategy.

Guitars also don't lose value over time. If you're a musician as well as an investor, you'll appreciate the superior action and tone of a real vintage instrument. The most popular vintage guitar with collectors is probably the Gibson Les Paul.

Gibson invented the modern electric guitar, and in the 1960s, the Les Paul was one of the best instruments available. CF Martin is yet another of the great vintage guitar brands.

Some of the original Martin guitars are now nearly a hundred years old. Collectible CF Martin guitars are valuable up through the 1960s models. Guild guitars are great vintage instruments, too, but they're a lot less famous. Older Guild instruments are very rare, and considered on par with Martin guitars of the same period. Even if you just like the look of a beautiful old guitar, think about purchasing a vintage one. It has a lot of useful information about vintage guitars and also a great selection of vintage guitars for sale.
