The State of the Vintage Guitar Market

A few days ago I TWEETED this: “I’m trying to justify a new guitar purchase to my wife… What would you do…Buy a new Les Paul Standard or 3 shares of Google stock…”

I know it sounds silly, but it’s actually an interesting question. When we buy stock in a public company, we buy with the expectation that the stock will increase in value over time. Do we have the same expectation when we buy a guitar?

In this video, Premier Guitar’s Brett Petrusek is on location at the Arlington Guitar Show and Auction, talking to vintage dealers about the state of the vintage market.

Is it a bad time for buyers? Dealers? What’s selling? Are guitars really a good investment?

The dealers themselves address these questions in this video.
