				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>&#8230;And Won&#8217;t Die Anytime Soon. A recent article from the Washington Post has caused stir in the industry, recently. It was called <em>&#8220;The Slow Secret Death Of The Electric Guitar&#8221;</em> and begged the question: are the days of the guitar coming to an end? Don&#8217;t think so&#8230;</h2>
<p>It came as no surprise that the Washington Post&#8217;s <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/graphics/2017/lifestyle/the-slow-secret-death-of-the-electric-guitar/?utm_term=.e2088ba77ce6"><strong>The Slow Death Of The Electric Guitar</strong></a> article got everyone talking, a few weeks ago. After all, we all love guitars, so this couldn&#8217;t possibly be true! Or could it? The fact is, though, that even though nothing the article said was factually incorrect &#8211; hence the fact it&nbsp;<em>was &nbsp;</em>a relevant read &#8211; the conclusions it came to where quite off the mark. Not quite fake news territory then, but misleading news.&nbsp;</p>
<h3>What was wrong about the Washington Post article?</h3>
<p>The very title of the article seems to suggest that at some point, the guitar will simply die off &#8211; which is a totally ridiculous idea.&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_8973" style="width: 619px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class=" wp-image-8973" src="http://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/jimihendrix-guitarfire.gif" alt="Jimi Hendrix guitar on fire" width="609" height="455"><p class="wp-caption-text">Jimi Hendrix guitar on fire</p></div>
<p>Rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll is still alive and kicking &#8211; and while it does, so will the electric guitar. Even jazz is still alive and, while not a major chart concern, there&#8217;s still a wealth of jazz musicians making a living worldwide.&nbsp;So when it comes to <strong>electric guitars</strong> and <strong>rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll</strong> music &#8211; both of which penetrated popular culture far more deeply than jazz &#8211; you can amplify this for a thousand times, and realize we&#8217;re all in safe territory here, after all &#8211; any news about the demise of rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll and/or electric guitars is just nonsense.</p>
<p>With this in mind, we&#8217;ll discuss 5 points that show that the Washington Post article was simply&#8230; wrong!</p>
<h3>1) The big brands are in trouble, not the electric guitar</h3>
<div id="attachment_8994" style="width: 810px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-8994" src="http://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/c_scalefl_progressiveq_80w_800.jpg" alt="Henry Juszkiewicz and Slash" width="800" height="631" srcset="https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/c_scalefl_progressiveq_80w_800.jpg 800w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/c_scalefl_progressiveq_80w_800-600x473.jpg 600w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/c_scalefl_progressiveq_80w_800-300x237.jpg 300w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/c_scalefl_progressiveq_80w_800-768x606.jpg 768w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/c_scalefl_progressiveq_80w_800-450x355.jpg 450w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/c_scalefl_progressiveq_80w_800-50x39.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><em>One of the guys knows everything about guitars. The other one is Slash. Or so Henry Juszkiewicz probably thinks&#8230;</em></p></div>
<p>The nature of popular music and of the market have changed dramatically, that&#8217;s for sure &#8211; but that doesn&#8217;t mean the electric guitar will die anytime soon. The main problem with that article, is that it just gives too much importance to the big names such as Gibson, Fender, Guitar Center, and to mainstream music. &nbsp;</p>
<p>We all know what happened to dinosaurs. And the same is bound to happen with people who think like dinos, in this business! Even though we all owe a lot to brands such as <strong>Gibson</strong> and <strong>Fender</strong>, who made some of the most legendary guitars ever, it doesn&#8217;t mean they are God-given gifts to mankind who should expect to have loyal customers no matter what, just because rock legends have played their instruments.</p>
<p>These brands are subject to the same market forces as any other, smaller brands &#8211; and <em><strong>if their products are not good enough or not available at the right price point, they won&#8217;t sell</strong></em>. What&#8217;s true to a bunch of bananas at your local market is true to a <strong>Gibson Mike McCready 1959 Les Paul Standard Vintage Gloss</strong>&nbsp;guitar.&nbsp;</p>
<div id="attachment_8974" style="width: 1336px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="wp-image-8974 size-full" src="http://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/LP59MMSBNH1_MAIN_HERO_01-e1500038703860.jpg" alt="Gibson Mike McCready 1959 Les Paul Standard Vintage Gloss" width="1326" height="437" srcset="https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/LP59MMSBNH1_MAIN_HERO_01-e1500038703860.jpg 1326w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/LP59MMSBNH1_MAIN_HERO_01-e1500038703860-600x198.jpg 600w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/LP59MMSBNH1_MAIN_HERO_01-e1500038703860-300x99.jpg 300w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/LP59MMSBNH1_MAIN_HERO_01-e1500038703860-768x253.jpg 768w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/LP59MMSBNH1_MAIN_HERO_01-e1500038703860-840x277.jpg 840w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/LP59MMSBNH1_MAIN_HERO_01-e1500038703860-450x148.jpg 450w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/LP59MMSBNH1_MAIN_HERO_01-e1500038703860-50x16.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 1326px) 100vw, 1326px" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><em>It shouldn&#8217;t be a surprise that people are not queuing around the block to pay $6699 for a Gibson Mike McCready 1959 Les Paul Standard Vintage Gloss&#8230;</em></p></div>
<p>It&#8217;s not that the electric guitar as an instrument is dying &#8211; it&#8217;s just that the biggest brands associated with it are, well, not in the best health:</p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Gibson and Fender are in debt, and a third, PRS Guitars, had to cut staff and expand production of cheaper guitars&#8221; &#8211; The Washington Post</em></h4>
<p>Is it any wonder??? For far too long, they&#8217;ve made guitars which are far too expensive and, sometimes, not even that great. Therefore, sales were bound to go down. What did anyone expect?</p>
<p>Many guitarists will tell you that a <strong>Squier Classic Vibe</strong> will look, feel and sound as good if not better than some more expensive Fenders, for instance.</p>
<p>And in fact, lots of people are&nbsp;<em>still&nbsp;</em>collecting guitars &#8211; but the notion that there&#8217;ll always be a vast demand for top-of-the-range expensive models is unrealistic &#8211; even though that&#8217;s exactly what Fender, Gibson and PRS expect.</p>
<p>There is&nbsp;<em>still&nbsp;</em>a (small) market for very expensive guitars, and that&#8217;s why many boutique luthiers still survive and even thrive. But the bigger brands are just counting on their name &#8211; and this is just not cutting it anymore. If a guitar is not good value-for-money, it won&#8217;t sell.</p>
<h3>2) And YES: Guitar Heroes still matter!</h3>
<div id="attachment_8991" style="width: 1010px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-8991" src="http://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/jack-white-at-bonnaroo.jpg" alt="Jack White live" width="1000" height="647" srcset="https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/jack-white-at-bonnaroo.jpg 1000w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/jack-white-at-bonnaroo-600x388.jpg 600w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/jack-white-at-bonnaroo-300x194.jpg 300w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/jack-white-at-bonnaroo-768x497.jpg 768w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/jack-white-at-bonnaroo-840x543.jpg 840w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/jack-white-at-bonnaroo-450x291.jpg 450w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/jack-white-at-bonnaroo-50x32.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><em>Jack White is proof that modern guitar heroes DO exist</em></p></div>
<p>Baby Boomers became guitar collectors, but most younger people won&#8217;t &nbsp;&#8211; however, this doesn&#8217;t mean they feel less inspired by guitar heroes than past generations.</p>
<p>Younger players have grown up in a world that&#8217;s increasingly unstable, with unstable jobs and future &#8211; not as many will have money to spare on very expensive guitar collections.&nbsp;</p>
<h4 style="text-align: center;"><em>&#8220;Now those boomers are retiring, downsizing and adjusting to fixed incomes. They’re looking to shed, not add to, their collections, and the younger generation isn’t stepping in to replace them.&#8221; &#8211; The Washington Post</em></h4>
<p>Big brands need to realise that the era of the moneyed &#8220;Baby Boomers&#8221; buying lot sof guitars is coming to an end &#8211; and no amount of guitar-hero worshipping will change this.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The Washington Post mistakenly assumes that younger people are not becoming collectors because they don&#8217;t have guitar heroes. This is not quite true.</p>
<p>There are still lots of people picking up a guitar and being inspired by the same idols who inspired their (grand)dads! Anyone can go to YouTube and feel inspired by the sounds and antics of all the great guitar heroes &#8211; Clapton, Hendrix, Page, Townshend and so on&#8230; even though they are not in the charts anymore, their music is actually more accessible than it has ever been!</p>
<p>Not to mention more recent names such as Kurt Cobain, Noel Gallagher, Jack White and Dan Auerbach, who still inspire many new guitarists. (as we know from sales of the <a href="https://www.eastwoodguitars.com/collections/airline"><strong>Airline models</strong></a>, for instance&#8230;)</p>
<p>But are they going to spend mega bucks on a guitar collection just to copy their idols? Hell, no!&nbsp;</p>
<p>Younger people can love Sixties Eric Clapton as much as anyone who grew up in the era, and still this wouldn&#8217;t make them spend thousands to buy a new&nbsp;<strong>The Journeyman Relic Eric Clapton Signature Strat</strong>!</p>
<h3>3) Guitar x Amp x FX Pedals: It&#8217;s not all about guitars, you know&#8230;</h3>
<div id="attachment_9003" style="width: 749px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class=" wp-image-9003" src="http://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals.jpg" alt="FX pedalboard" width="739" height="739" srcset="https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals.jpg 640w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals-300x300.jpg 300w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals-100x100.jpg 100w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals-600x600.jpg 600w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals-150x150.jpg 150w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals-450x450.jpg 450w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals-50x50.jpg 50w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals-550x550.jpg 550w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/fxpedals-470x470.jpg 470w" sizes="(max-width: 739px) 100vw, 739px" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><em>Guitarists are NOT spending less on FX pedals&#8230; that&#8217;s for sure!</em></p></div>
<p>From a gigging guitarist perspective, it&#8217;s also important to notice that collecting expensive guitars is NOT necessarily top of the list for most people <em>active</em> in music, be it playing in bands or just making music at home.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Why buy a super expensive guitar when you can spend the money on lots of cool FX pedals and valve amps? <strong>Jack White</strong> was a recent proof that you didn&#8217;t need to have an expensive guitar to create a great sound. But he had the help of a great <strong>Fender Twin Reverb</strong>, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, Digitech Whammy etc.</p>
<p>There&#8217;s lots of bands playing with cheap or reasonably priced guitars &#8211; but at the same time using expensive valve amps, boutique FX pedals like the ones by Strymon&#8230; sometimes it&#8217;s not even a matter of money &#8211; but HOW you spend it. And in this day and age, expensive guitars will always lose, and quite often musicians will prefer second-hand guitars, but get brand new boutique fx pedals. &nbsp;Which lead us to the next point&#8230;</p>
<h3>4) The Booming Second-Hand Market</h3>
<div id="attachment_9018" style="width: 1210px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-9018" src="http://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/open-graph-77937b3c2c4db83ce1d908208725f755.jpg" alt="Buying second-hand is often a great option" width="1200" height="630" srcset="https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/open-graph-77937b3c2c4db83ce1d908208725f755.jpg 1200w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/open-graph-77937b3c2c4db83ce1d908208725f755-600x315.jpg 600w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/open-graph-77937b3c2c4db83ce1d908208725f755-300x158.jpg 300w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/open-graph-77937b3c2c4db83ce1d908208725f755-768x403.jpg 768w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/open-graph-77937b3c2c4db83ce1d908208725f755-840x441.jpg 840w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/open-graph-77937b3c2c4db83ce1d908208725f755-450x236.jpg 450w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/open-graph-77937b3c2c4db83ce1d908208725f755-50x26.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><em>Buying second-hand is often a great option, from sites such as Reverb.com</em></p></div>
<p>The declining sale numbers for new guitars does not necessarily reflect a loss of popularity of the instrument. Well, it probably does a bit, but the point is that many guitarists prefer to buy second-hand instruments on sites such as Ebay and Reverb.com. &nbsp;You can bet there are still many guitar collectors out there who buy lots of guitars &#8211; but the vast majority of them probably won&#8217;t be buying new models.</p>
<p>Also, is it realistic to expect that the market for brand new guitars (especially high-end Fender, Gibson, PRS&#8230;) should be an ever expanding one? Many guitar buyers are not that bothered about having a brand new instrument when they plan to buy a guitar. If you want to make your money go further, or want to get something maybe cool and more interesting, you might look at second-hand guitars, rare vintage guitars etc.</p>
<p>A guitar brand might even have &#8220;loyal&#8221; customers who&#8217;ve never bought more than one new guitar off them &#8211; if that! This kind of player won&#8217;t be helping the fortunes of a guitar brand like Gibson, because their commitment to the brand does not reflect on year-on-year sales.</p>
<h3>5) Go to a gig &amp; see it for yourself!</h3>
<div id="attachment_9020" style="width: 839px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class=" wp-image-9020" src="http://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/Thee_Oh_Sees_Scala_London_09_05_2013_Andrew_Novell-3.jpg" alt="Thee Oh Sees live" width="829" height="552" srcset="https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/Thee_Oh_Sees_Scala_London_09_05_2013_Andrew_Novell-3.jpg 628w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/Thee_Oh_Sees_Scala_London_09_05_2013_Andrew_Novell-3-600x399.jpg 600w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/Thee_Oh_Sees_Scala_London_09_05_2013_Andrew_Novell-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/Thee_Oh_Sees_Scala_London_09_05_2013_Andrew_Novell-3-450x300.jpg 450w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/Thee_Oh_Sees_Scala_London_09_05_2013_Andrew_Novell-3-50x33.jpg 50w" sizes="(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px" /><p class="wp-caption-text"><em>Is rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll dead? Is the electric guitar dying? Go tell Thee Oh Sees and their sell-out crowds&#8230;</em></p></div>
<p>The bottom line? It doesn&#8217;t matter if more or less people are buying brand news guitars, or how many bands in the Top 20 are inspiring kids to get guitar lessons! We don&#8217;t need Taylor Swift to save the electric guitar.</p>
<p>There are LOTS of people out there buying used gear, getting inspired by bands who&#8217;d never been in the Top 20, and learning instruments on their own.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Young people still feel inspired by all the (fewer than before, sure) major acts who play guitar &#8211; but the point is, so many other bands not in the top of the charts are still out there, playing live to thousands of people at sold out gigs, festivals worldwide etc. Just go to a gig by acts such as Thee Oh Sees, Black Angels, King Gizzard &amp; The Lizard Wizard, Courtney Barnett and so many others, and festivals such as SXSW, Austin Psych Fest etc and you&#8217;ll see that guitar music and rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll music is as alive as ever &#8211; if not more!&nbsp;</p>
<p>It just feels that people who periodically announce the death of rock&#8217;n&#8217;roll and/or of the electric guitar actually know nothing about either. They&#8217;re both alive and well. At the end of the day, it&#8217;s up to each one of us to make sure this song remains the same&#8230;</p>

<p>If you have spent any time at all perusing the web for vintage gear, chances are you have run across the names Dave Hinson and Killer Vintage. Located in the heart of St. Louis, Killer Vintage has a reputation as one of the world&#8217;s foremost vintage guitar shops. The building sits on the quiet corner or Ivanhoe and Scanlan, and at first glance looks as if it will burst apart from all the gear crammed into every nook and cranny. The vibe is cool, and the guys at Killer Vintage know their stuff, so whether you&#8217;re looking for the next ultra-rare piece for your collection, the final element of your ultimate stage rig, or just a place to dream (and pick up an awesome t shirt!), Killer Vintage most likely has what you are looking for. I recently caught up with Dave Hinson, owner and head boss at Killer Vintage, and got a chance to ask him a few questions about his experience with the vintage guitar market.</p>
<p><strong>1. Before we drill down into the details, what would be your single paragraph biography?</strong></p>
<p>I began playing guitar in 1962, with Mel Bay as my first teacher. I started playing for pay in 1966, and began dealing guitars in 1970. Killer Vintage was started as a legitimate business in 1994 and continues to buy and sell guitars and vintage gear today. I currently serve as one of the editors of the Vintage Guitar Price Guide, as well as a contributing editor and adviser of the Blue Book of Guitars. I am on the advisory board of the Modern Guitar Museum (Los Angeles), expert Appraiser for Heritage Auctions Dallas TX, and frequent consultant to the Antique Roadshow (PBS). I can be heard every 6 weeks on Overnight America as the Guitar Guy (CBS radio) and as the Guitar Guy on St Louis 97.1 FM KFTK (Dave Glover Show). I played 6 nights a week for many years, but now play 6 nights a month. As owner and proprietor of Killer Vintage, I have a long-standing reputation as a premier vintage guitar authority, and my T-shirts are legendary though very politically incorrect!</p>
<p><strong>2. How did you get started collecting guitars and what were some of your first pieces?</strong></p>
<p>I started just trying to get myself a better guitar in the mid 60&#8217;s. Never really collected and still don&#8217;t. I do have a a collection of sorts. But they are guitars that have either or both sentimental attachment or ones I can use on gigs. My first electric was a 1964 Fender Mustang (Red) I bought it at Mel Bay music on his advice and even had a payment book from Kirkwood Bank (11.44 per month) I paid it off in 3 months mowing lawns. I still had that guitar in 1967 and traded if even for a 1957 Chevy Convertible (Black) at a Ford dealer. I had a couple others by then (SG Special &amp; Vox pitfire). Still have the first guitar which was my Dad&#8217;s 1940 D&#8217;Angelico Style A but that wasn&#8217;t cool to a 13 year old in 1964.</p>

<p><strong>3. What do you feel is the current state of the vintage guitar market?</strong></p>
<p>Right now is the time to buy I believe prices have come down from the 2006-2008 bubble. They were way out of control during that period as was most everything else. There is some question about the baby boomers graying out of the market and the potential of a flood of instruments. The true blue chip guitars 30&#8217;s/40&#8217;s and even 50&#8217;s Martins, 50/60&#8217;s Fender Gibson and same era Gretsch, Rickenbacker etc.. Should remain collectible and many models are not subject to fads.</p>
<p><strong>4. What guitars today will be the vintage pieces tomorrow?</strong></p>
<p>That is the 250 Thousand dollar question? I feel that some of the Colling&#8217;s guitars could be candidates for that. Gibson, Fender etc have all had peaks and valleys in production and only time will tell. One disturbing factor is the of lack of guitar driven pop music in the market. Many of the guitars that have risen to the top of the hill so to speak are equated with our 50/60&#8217;s/70&#8217;s guitar heroes but not many of those around these days.</p>

<p><strong>5. What&#8217;s your personal favorite vintage piece on your collection currently?</strong></p>
<p>My entire collection is not what you would expect I suppose. Here is the list though:</p>
<ul>
<li>1959 Gibson Les Paul Junior Factory Black</li>
<li>1960 Gibson Les Paul Junior Factory Black</li>
<li>1957 Gibson Les Paul Junior TV Model</li>
<li>1960 Gibson Les Paul TV Special</li>
<li>1960 Gibson ES-335 Sunburst (The one in the Lee Harvey Oswald Shirt)</li>
<li>1964 Gretsch Custom Black</li>
<li>1951 Fender Esquire</li>
<li>1940 D&#8217;Angelico Style A</li>
<li>1966 Epiphone Sheraton Blond</li>
<li>1961 Fender Telecaster Blond</li>
<li>1970 Harptone Acoustic Blond (George Harrison Concert for Bangladesh style)</li>
<li>1966 Fender Stratocaster Oly White</li>
<li>1966 Fender Jazz Bass Oly White Matching headstock</li>
<li>2006 Linhof Special #0072</li>
<li>A couple J. Black made Tele Customs (One Esquire, One Telecaster) Bound 2 tone w/ maple neck</li>
</ul>
<p>As I said I tend to keep guitar I can Play out. Museum quality or extremely rare guitars are not ones I like to hold on to. That is just me though!</p>
<p><strong>6. What&#8217;s the one that got away?</strong></p>
<p>Oh there are so many of those!! Wish I had kept a complete list??</p>
<ol>
<li> I had Waylon Jennings 1969 Rosewood Tele back in the mid 90s&#8217; (Went to Switzerland)</li>
<li>1954 Stratocaster #0812</li>
<li>1958 Gibson ES-335 Cherry Ser # A28800 this one was discovered in California near Reno NV. In the Gibson records as completed./ shipped Dec. 1958 The first Cherry 335 ever.</li>
<li>1951 Fender Esquire. Dave Crocker called me and said I have your guitar. Neck date was TG 7/23/51 (my birth date). I did not have the money at the time and regret to this day not getting that one. I do know where it is though!! Maybe someday??</li>
<li>1964 Gibson SG Custom Cherry 12 string&#8230;.Yes!! the weirdest and coolest guitar I have ever seen.</li>
<li>1959 Gibson Les Paul really didn&#8217;t get a way I arranged the sale to a customer of mine but it came from South Africa later known as the African Burst.</li>
<li>1956 Stratocaster Shoreline Gold with Gold Hardware. Beautiful !!</li>
<li>Several Sunburst Les Paul&#8217;s&#8230;.never liked those back when they were 4-600.00 Hell you could buy Maple Neck Strats and black guard Tele&#8217;s for 100-150.00 and Es-335&#8217;s were 175.00 to 200.00. Juniors were 50.00 if you paid for them at all most of the time you would buy a couple guitars and close the deal with &#8220;OK I&#8217;ll take those if you throw in the Junior&#8221;.</li>
</ol>

<p><strong>7. How do you feel Japan has impacted the vintage guitar market over the years?</strong></p>
<p>The Japanese are still serious buyers and collectors. In the 80&#8217;s/90&#8217;s especially they did influence the market by driving the prices up. But they in many ways helped establish the importance and value of these instruments. Fortunately many people from all over have also come on board collecting and investing in American guitars much in the same way one would great works of art. I am curious if other parts of the world will eventually take a similar approach. The Chinese are busy making fake Gibson guitars but will the wealthier individuals become interested in owning original examples??? same could be said for many other regions such as the Eastern Block countries and even the Middle East?? Who knows?</p>
<p><strong>8.What impact has the internet had on the vintage market?</strong></p>
<p>Obviously the internet has made the world smaller as far as market. A store in Iowa for example can sell a guitar to a buyer anywhere in the world. 15 years ago the would have been nearly impossible. We have had a website since 1995 now it is nearly impossible to do business without one. eBay and Gbase have become important vehicles for dealers to market their inventory. We do not use eBay anymore but Gbase is almost essential to display inventory and point to a stores website. One downside to the internet is the prolification of sort of self appointed experts from websites and forums. Many do not have much if any real knowledge but only hearsay and what they have read in either books or other websites and a lot of the credibility is suspect at best. This has created sort of a black Market in many respects.</p>
<p><strong>9. What advice do you have for people who want to get into the vintage guitar market?</strong></p>
<p>If you wish to enter the market make sure you do your research on the instrument and find a dealer to either purchase from that is knowledgeable and credible. There are many honest guitar guys but there are many more as afforementioned that do not have the history or expertise to be a dealer or expert if you will. I advise many people yo collect what you like. I feel this is most important factor. I have freind/customer that likes Custom Color Strats. Once in the while he will ask me to find him a Gold top or something my first response to him is you don&#8217;t like those. He will think about it and realize that he really doesn&#8217;t and continues on the path he is comfortable with. Try to only buy all original guitars or with minimal changes if you are building a collection. Refret most would agree is a minimal change if it has been done well. Stay away from refinished or guitars with changed parts unless you are OK with player grade guitars. Most importantly I would suggest staying with Blue Chip guitars. IE: 30&#8217;s-50&#8217;s Martins as far as acoustics and 50&#8217;s/60&#8217;s Fenders, Gibsons, Gretsch, Rickenbacker ETC&#8230; Still the ones that have held their ground throughout the years.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[<p>My goal is to make your instrument into something that you truly enjoy. We all know how frustrating it is to have a guitar that won't tune, won't stay in tune, has high action, buzzes, makes noise or makes no noise. The list goes on. It is also frustrating to have your instrument repaired", only to find that the improvement made was minor, and did not solve the problem. I see plenty of work from other shops, and although some is OK, most displays a general lack of care and/or skill. I promise that won't be the case at SF Guitarworks.</p>

We all know how frustrating it is to have a guitar that won&#8217;t tune, won&#8217;t stay in tune, has high action, buzzes, makes noise or makes no noise. The list goes on. It is also frustrating to have your instrument repaired&#8221;, only to find that the improvement made was minor, and did not solve the problem. I see plenty of work from other shops, and although some is OK, most displays a general lack of care and/or skill. I promise that won&#8217;t be the case at SF Guitarworks.</p>
<div id="attachment_1537" style="width: 560px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img class="size-full wp-image-1537 " title="San Francisco Guitarworks (San Francisco, CA)" src="http://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/san-francisco-guitar-works-california-02.jpg" alt="San Francisco Guitarworks (San Francisco, CA)" width="550" height="413" srcset="https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/san-francisco-guitar-works-california-02.jpg 550w, https://www.myrareguitars.com/guitar-pictures/san-francisco-guitar-works-california-02-300x225.jpg 300w" sizes="(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px" /><p class="wp-caption-text">San Francisco Guitarworks (San Francisco, CA)</p></div>
<p>I am here for you, the player. I want to fully understand the problem with your instrument. What is that characteristic that is getting in the way of your playing, and how do you think it should be? After we are both sure we understand each other, the instrument will be transformed &#8211; meeting or exceeding your expectations. I believe that it should be a joy to pick up your guitar, bass, banjo, or other stringed instrument and know that it will perform as you expect. I am here to help you achieve that goal. My work is backed by a satisfaction guarantee, which no customer has taken advantage of since I have been in business, and all work that I perform is covered by a lifetime warranty. I am a perfectionist, and although I can&#8217;t tell you what will happen at other shops, I can guarantee that it will be done right the first time at SF Guitarworks. Professional service, no attitude. If you are at odds with your instrument, even if it seems nit-picky, please give me a call or stop by and I will do my very best to help you.</p>
<p>Thanks so much,</p>
<p>Geoff Luttrell</p>

<p><strong>About Tom Holland</strong></p>
<p>Tom started playing professionally in Chicago at age 19, landing his first gig with L.V. Banks, in a beauty salon on Chicago&#8217;s south side. Tom worked with L.V. Banks on and off for four years. It was also during this time that Tom was introduced to Muddy Waters last guitarist, John Primer. Tom toured the United States and Canada for 2 years with John as a member of his band, the Real Deal Blues Band.</p>
<p>In late 1999 Tom was asked to join Chicago blues guitarist Eddy &#8220;The Chief&#8221; Clearwater&#8217;s band. Tom toured with Eddy Clearwater for three years as bandleader, and toured across the U.S., Canada, and made his first trip to Europe. It was during this time that his status as one of Chicago&#8217;s top sidemen was solidified, also freelancing with Carey Bell, Phil Guy, A.C. Reed, Atlanta vocalist Sandra Hall, and countless other Chicago bluesmen and women.</p>
<p>In November of 2003, Tom was approached by harp legend James Cotton, who was in need of a guitar player. Tom accepted and has been touring with James now for over a year. In July of 2004 Tom toured Japan for the first time with James Cotton, as well as Switzerland.</p>
<p>Tom also tours extensively with his own band The Shufflekings.</p>

For five years it grew inside of that little 500 sq. ft. shop, selling and repairing only guitars. At that time they sold mostly used and vintage guitars. In May of 1994, Wade bought the building they am currently in at 3490 N. Oakland Avenue, on Milwaukee's East Side, just blocks from the shores of Lake Michigan. This building has given them the room to grow and expand their selection, but stay small enough to be personal. They still carry a lot of used and vintage gear, but are also proud dealers of C.F. Martin, Rickenbacker, Alvarez, National, Regal, and now Eastwood Guitars. They also carry lots of parts, accessories, and effects pedals.</p>
