Where can I buy a vintage acoustic guitars?
I wouldn’t buy a vintage guitar — or any guitar, really, but certainly not an expensive one — sight unseen on the Internet, but you can check out the following sites:
http://www.elderly.com/ (Elderly Instruments, Lansing MI)
http://www.mandoweb.com/ (Mandolin Brothers, NY, NY)
http://www.gruhn.com/ (Gruhn Guitars, Nashville, TN)
http://www.hmtrad.com/ (House of Musical Traditions, Takoma Park, MD)
All of these dealers have actual brick-n-mortar music shops where you can go and look at and try out the instruments in person before you buy. I would highly recommend doing that before purchasing anything.

D’ Aquisto New Yorker Acoustic Guitar $4079.96 D’ Aquisto New Yorker Acoustic Guitar D’ Aquisto New Yorker Acoustic Guitar Description: One of the greatest guitar luthiers in history, James L. D’Aquist o , started his career in arch-top guitar building at the age of 17 at John D’Angelico’s studio. He founded his own D’Aquist o brand after the passing of John D’Angelico and is known to have created some of the best-sounding, most sought after arch-top guitars available until his untimely death at the age of 59 in 1995. The instruments he created in his late r years are especially desired and are highly regarded as the “Holy Grail” of arch-top guitars. They are still the inspiration for many arch-top guitar builders. His creativity in arch-top guitar building is apparent in his design of the “Accutone” ebony bridge and his ebony tailpiece. Those innovative D’Aquisto arch-tops of the past are now revived to become part of the new history of arch-top guitars, incorporating Old World craftsmanship with 21st century technology. New Yorker was James D’Aquisto’s most popular model of the 70’s and it was during this time he established his originality and innovative designs. It features the unique head shape, sound hole and use of ebony for the fingerboard, tailpiece and bridge. The distinctive headstock inlay of the “New Yorker” is a faithful reissue of the original. D’ Aquisto New Yorker Acoustic Guitar Features: Body : 17″ width Full Acoustic, with Ivory multipl e binding Body thickness : 3-1/8″ Top : Solid Sitka Spruce, pressed arch Back : Laminated Flamed Maple, pressed arch Side : Laminated Flamed Maple Neck : Maple Fingerboard : Ebony with Ivory binding Frets : 22F Scale : 648mm(25-1/2″) Bridge : Ebony, height adjustable Tailpiece : Ebony Machineheads : Schaller, M6 vintage stepped 22K Gold plated Finish : ALB, N Get your D’ Aquisto New Yorker Acoustic Guitar today! |

Takamine TAN76 Super Natural Acoustic-Electric Guitar $1649 Takamine TAN76 Super Natural Acoustic-Electric Guitar OM non-cutaway version of TAN46, includes CTP1. Everything about our SuperNatural Series exudes world-class pedigree, from the beautifully understated styling to breathtaking vintage tone. None of which should come as any surprise given that Takamine have spent the last 40 years perfecting the art of designing and building outstanding acoustic guitars. And the SuperNaturals are truly outstanding because of the time, materials and knowledge we put into them. You can specify your SuperNatural with either a solid spruce or solid cedar soundboard. The spruce-topped version delivers a rich, bright tonality that rewards even the most forceful playing – and what’s more, the sound will improve with age and regular use. The honey-coloured cedar models possess an alltogether darker, more luxuriant tone with a rounder bottom end making them the perfect choice for fingerpicking. Both the spruce and cedar models benefit from hand-scalloped X-bracing which we fine-tune to suit the characteristics of the different soundboard materials. The backs and sides are of beautiful bookmatched rosewood, chosen to complement the inherent tone signature of the tops. The solid backs are braced to control bottom end response and maximise projection. The SuperNatural Series does much more than pay homage to the master luthier. These truly are vintage instruments of the 21st century featuring technical innovations that have made Takamine famous. The acoustic-electrics* come equipped with our palathetic bridge pickup linked to the CoolTube preamp. This combination captures even the finest sonic nuance, delivering a warm, clear amplified acoustic tone that is simply breathtaking. CoolTube:On-board tube preamp with bass and treble tone controls, semi-parametric midrange, a second-source input and blend control, and chromatic tuner. Features: 6 String Acoustic / Electric Body Shape: OM Body Rosette: Abalone Top: Solid Spruce Inlays: None Back: Solid Rosewood Sides: Rosewood Fingerboard: Rosewood Electronics: CTP-1 Tuners: Gold with Amber Features: Features the new CTP-1 Cool Tube Preamp.
