Have you ever considered becoming a collector of vintage guitars? This can be a rewarding, albeit
expensive hobby. However, if you make wise choices, your investment can pay you back ten fold.
Many famous rock stars have had their guitars sell for as much as a million dollars. While this is
most likely too rich for your blood, there are still some great vintage guitars out there that you can
invest in.
One good thing about the vintage guitar market is that it has rarely if ever fallen off, like sports
card did when they hit rock bottom in the mid 90s. The appeal of older guitars has seemed to grow
over the last several decades, and many of these guitars have not only held their value, but
increased substantially.
While monetary gain is a great reason to start collecting, there is more to investing in vintage
guitars than a return investment. There is something to be said for hanging one of these beauties
on the wall of your favorite room and showing it off to friends and family. It is a major
understatement to say that it is a good conversation piece.
Vintage guitars come in all shapes, sizes and types and like a vintage muscle car, just being old
doesn't qualify it as a collector's piece. It must have been discontinued by the manufacturer or
some other influence to make it a collectible piece. Many other factors also come into play such as
condition, rarity, previous owners and of course the manufacturer.
Buying and selling these guitars takes a good amount of dedication and learning about the history
of each manufacturer. It simply isn't possible to become an expert on the subject overnight, but I
guarantee you that it will become more a passion than a hobby. This "hobby" has a way of sucking
you in and enriching your life in many, many ways.
If you do your homework, it is very plausible that a vintage guitar you buy today could double or
triple in price within a decade. Talk about a return on your investment! It simply doesn't get much
better than that.
