Homespun How To Buy A Vintage Guitar - By George Gruhn DVD

In this unique buyer's guide, George Gruhn, one of the world's foremost authorities on vintage fretted instruments, teaches you every aspect of assessing a guitar's value. You will be able to select with confidence, whether your focus is new, used or vintage, for personal pleasure or investment value. You'll learn to see and instrument the way George sees it, and to appraise and critique it the way he does. He demystifies the evaluation process and stresses the importance of developing a systematic way of appraising.

Using several vintage instruments as teaching tools, you will look closely at such details as:
Finish
Hardware
Fret type
Inlays
Bindings
Peg head shapes

You'll learn how to get the best buys, how to determine an instrument's playability, the difference between "used" and "vintage", how to spot a counterfeit, and much more. George also gives a history lesson about the vintage market, makes predictions for future directions and provides suggestions for further study.
