History of the Guitar
I’ve bought an old Yamaha "Dynamic Guitar Model 20". It looks at though it’s from the late 1960s or 1970s (Yamaha started making guitars in 1966 apparently). Inside it says it was made by the Nippon Gakki company (Yamaha). It doesn’t have the usual Yamaha logo on the headstock, but does have "Yamaha Dynamic Guitar" and "9202" there. Although a little bit scruffy, it looks good and plays very well (solid spruce top etc). When were they made? How much is it worth?
Brett, I tried to e-mail you but I got a returned mail. I still dont know when this guitar was made but it sure looks like the 60’s. If anyone knows a search engine for Nippon Gakki serial #’s please let me know.

I too bought an old model 20 yamaha.
At a yard sale in Los Angeles I saw this old guitar and I knew it was old. I asked the lady how much and she said it belonged to her son and he was asking $250. At first I thought 2 hundred and fifty dollars and it may be worth it.
I took a chance and handed her a five dollar bill. She said "Let me get your change" when I said, "Thats ok, you keep the change" So the guitar has always been the Keep the Change guitar. It plays great and has a wonderful sound.
When people come to my house they pick up this guitar more than any of my others. I bought it in 1987 and still play it everyday. I have searched for info on it all these years and this is the first time I found anyone who had one.

they are made in korea and would like to know more myself
check eBay
I too am interested in finding more information about this guitar company. I do know that it is a Korean Company. I found a Sebring Hallow body electric. [ #8120678 ] Which has the look of a late 70’s early 80’s Guitar. While not constructed of high end materials or mechs., it has a good tone for jazz, bluegrass or light blues.
I’ve got an acoustic Sebring, it’s called "the Windrose" model# WR-28AS. It’s got a synthetic back with a built in pickup. I have searched and searched and found nothing about this guitar. I paid $200something for it. I wouldn’t sell it even if it was worth a grand. I sure wish there was more info about this thing though. But for me it is perfect: awesome sound, feel and look. Sorry I don’t have any extra info But at least your not alone in searching for info. Not a cheesy guitar to say the least.
Hi, I also have The Windrose, it is the same as yours except for the model number. Mine is WR-28BB.
I haven’t been able to find any info on it either but your right about is sounding great. I play blues and blues rock and I can tell you after comparing it to a Taylor my friend has….no diff. Growls better than the Taylor.
I got mine from a dude in New York and he said he bought it there in a small guitar shop in the 70’s, I know that they don’t make them anymore so we both have a collectors item. Hang on to it and keep strumming.
From the Cold North in Saskatchewan Over and Out!
i have a red double cut-a-way hollow body,,,great find in an attic…intonation adjusts perfectly,,action decent,,like you know there is a fingerboard,,,who has info on these?? made in korea all i have……
its a German made guitar.. theres awsome guitars, there strat copys are sweet, thay look really cool too, i got mine fore 200 dollars in berlin, theres really nice guitars
I just bought a Sebring WindRose Acoustic guitar for my girlfriend. I got it for $70 from someone who just wanted to get rid of it and I love it. It has a really good tone and it plays real well too. Now I wish I could keep it. There isn’t very much info out there, but I think they are good guitars.
I bought a Sebring SB-10 at a garage sale for fifteen bucks. I dont know anything about this axe and obvously no one else on the world wide web does either. If you have any information on Sebring guitars, especially that one, drop me a line
they went out of business in 1994 and all of there guitars were made in Korea if i find out anything else ill let u know
i went ot a local music store and saw their a sebring acoustic guitaar with a pickup built in and was told by the store owner guitar was priced at a grand he was selling for 400.00 is there any onee that knows anything about these guitars im interested in buying this guitar but dont want to spend 400$ for what could be a cheesy guitar
made in Korea 9030200 black with off-white trim and chrome hardware.Great little guitar .Much lighter on the shoulder than the Gibson .Rescued from under the bench of a stained glass artist getting spattered with solder. It stays in tune and is as true as the day is long. A few of my colleagues who are professional guitarists have wanted to relieve me of her [I’m really a vacalist] and they agree with me she is a little gem, easy action nice neck and sits just right.Sure shes had a life but she came out singing.

I have a sebring acoustic/electric guitar. Just wanted to know its value JS2OSNG is the number on the neck
V.M.I. Industries guitar and brand used on Korean hard body (1980-1990) after purchased from small hand made custom jazz arch top guitars. The Sebring had a “nickname” in 1960’s of the “See me Bring it” guitar. A zillionaire purchased the logo and fired all the craftsmen to flood the market with inexpensive guitars; still, the old imports Sebring’s are better then 90% of todays market if in good shape. Internet is all over the boards on guitars, if the experts don’t know they always blame the Asians. Best thing about them is they are “real” wood and metal, not sawdust resign and plastic. Seen a clarinet, flute or saxophone lately? OMG we are a plastic band.
Being older then most people here the Sebring was a custom 1960’s guitar. Looked like the L5 Gibson jazz model arch top F hole. They also made special order solid body guitars. Most their guitars were pre ordered then hand built. Not a Korean factory or Japan copy and more special ordered by jazz artists. German I think?
i have one that is about 4″ thick, long neck, block inlays, black, and used it verse the L5 gibson
and it sounds good. not thin, but very medium bodied to compart the thick, woody & bright tone
of the L5. its not have the sensitivity of the ES175 but it can easily hold it weight verse the ES175.
i paid $300 for mine. that was 20 years ago. they are worth collecting for play ability!
WHERE TO BUY IN ONE IN LOS ANGELES?
I was just wondering wheither they r good because i am thinking of buying one please e-mail me back to [email protected]
I have a Marlin SG copy from the mid 70s. Its a really good copy. The pickups are good and it sounds sweet after sittting in a musty basement for 25 years. I’ve heard some Marlins arent so great though.
: ive resently bought a marlin guitar in the "state of the art series" and i dont realy knw any thing about them! if any1 does knw nything on the "state of the art series" plz contact me at [email protected].
Some people think they are. But hey, it’s only a guitar, and they’re useless unless you can play. So buy a cheap guitar and get some lessons instead. In 10 years you’ll be ready for a Maton or Takamine – maybe.
They continue to live of their rep but few of the Martins currently being manufactured have a nice balanced acoustic sound, imho. And some of the peculiar models the factory is churning out these days must have old CFM spinning in his grave. For a better sounding instrument made with better materials look to Larrive or Tacoma, both of whom use all solid woods and don’t compromise construction on their less expensive models.
it’s an electric. it says J and G on the top of the neck and says made in italy on the back of the neck. there are no serial numbers. i have a picture if anyone can help me. i got the guitar from my dad after he passed on.
I bought a guitar from ebay..On the neck it has a crown in the crown model is a Crown Proffesional..but it needs a string and I dont know how to shop for one. Have you heard of this model and if so, how do I find the strings for it?
i recently inherited a Gibson SG and found that it was previously owned by Angus Young of AC/DC. It is signed and was won by my brother in a competition. Give me some ideas of how much I should insure it for as it is a genuine.
its probably worth about 5-6 thousand dollars
This popular thread has been given its own page : EKO Bass guitar
New Eko owner;
Depending on the condition of the wood, front and back, would depend on how much you would want to spend to refurbish the bass. I used to own a 1964 Eko violin bass, and it was the most beautiful maple wood that was in perfect condition. The main problem with old Eko’s is their problem of having their necks twist. It isn’t always a fixable problem, but sometimes they still play alright. If not, and you can’t straiten the neck, then I would not put a lot of money into refurbishing it. Good luck.

I have come into possesion of and Alex-axe guitar, it is practically brand new except that it is 30 years old. Does any one have any information on this company or what I should pay for this guitar. Any info out there would be great. Thanks
Check it out and play it. What it is worth is how much you love it (or not). Some of the top end Alex Axes were unequaled in craftsmanship. They failed however to catch the popularity train and quickly dissapeared from the landscape. You would find one occaisionally in Jimmy’s or some such used guitar rack selling at ridicullously low prices (thinks me). I picked up a ‘Les Paul’ Cheiftain back in the early eightees and I prize it above all my other axes. As for the market prices I have not seen anything selling. They are hens teeth and usually prized by the lucky owner as an Ford Edsel would be.

This popular thread has been given its own page : starforce bass guitar!
RE: "I have a six6 string starforce bass guitar.I want information on the manufacturers,and details about the actual bass guitar itself.I will also like to get an E-mail address or a webbsite for the manufacturers."
(Starforce) Instruments previously produced in Korea. Initially exported by Tropical Music of Miami, Florida prior to their purchase of the Dean company.
The Starforce company was started in 1988. These medium quality solid body guitars feature designs based on the original Stratocaster, as well as the superstrat. With the introduction of models such as the 8007 with its more original body design, and several bass guitar models, Starforce seeks to expand its market niche, but apparantly isn´t producing any guitars at this moment, (Source: Tony Bacon, The Ultimate Guitar Book ).
I own a red 4-string Starforce Bass guitar. It has star inlays on the neck. I bought it for that reason. I figured no guitar designer would bother with the expense of inlays unless they really liked the design quality of the instrument. For $125, I fell I got a great deal. The neck is dead-on straight, the action is very comfortable, and the electronics are smooth after all these years. My only complaint is that it only has one pick-up which was put in the bridge position. Regardless, a very nice bass sound is easy to get. Cheers… Dave
I have a 4 string model. I have no idea what its called I know all the stuff above. Its a great bass and I still use it. It has little planets on the fret board and a really long neck. Any one got any pictures?

This popular thread has been given its own page : Takamine N-10 – anyone know anything?
I have one also. I’m also trying to find information on it without much luck.
I can tell you that I love mine. To give you an idea how much it’s worth, I got it for $500 used a few years ago. I believe it was ~10 years old when I bought it.
Got this one from friend who needed some cash. Does anyone know anything about it? It’s in need of repair, and I’m trying to figure out if it’s worth repairing (slightly twisted neck and needs some fret work) of if I should sell it and get something else.

This popular thread has been given its own page : Vantage..Les Paul Copy
I have one of these too. It’s red w/ cream binding. As you already know these things are heavy, so I put strap locks on it.
In addition, mine came with an extra toggle switch (only two positions) in the area of the volume and tone knobs. I think it’s a pre-amp. All I know is when it’s on the geetar can get real loud, and it really sucks the juice out of a 9 volt battery.
The only way of dating mine was, on the back of the tuning pegs it says made in W. Germany. So all I can figure is, it was made before 1989.
They were produced by the Matsumoku company (chinese or japanese) they made lots of pawn shop guitars. They currently make Aria guitars, if i’m not mistaken.
All I know is everyone who has played a LP likes mine better than theirs.
rock on \m/
: Hi, I, too, have a Vantage Les Paul copy, yes, it’s very heavy, but it’s my favorite guitar. I love it, it has two humbucker style pickups, four dials, and a three-way switch. I’m getting ready to have the electrical components and humbuckers replaced, because, although when I bought it from a pawn shop about a decade ago it was already beat up I can’t bear to lose the guitar. It has an awesome deep jazzy sound. Great for hard rock and blues which is what we play deep down south.
I also have a Vantage, the 718GDT model. It’s not a Les Paul copy, though. It is a funky looking guitar, not too expensive, I think about $300. Bought it six years ago in the Netherlands. It’s tuning needs precision, and it’s easily detuned, especially when using the tremelo. But it sure does play great. I just can’t find it anywhere on the internet. Can anyone help out? it’s not on http://www.vantageguitars.com...
I bought myself a vantage 600 rs in a pawn shop…real good sound…but hard to stay in tune too….but I love it…..: Like Gary, I have a Vantage, Les Paul copy, very heavy guitar. no. on back is 060742 which I assume is a serial no. plays great but hard to stay in tune..Had it 15 years from pawn shop and know nothing about it..Just curious as to price, when made, etc…any info would be appreciated…
Wow! So many Vantage LPs out there. I bought mine in 1983 in Australia. I paid about AUD$350 (US$250 at the time), I think. It is a "limited edition" with a nice piece of timber on the deck. As the other guys said; it’s a heavy guitar. I set the action high and use it for slide. The little rocker switch is to connect the coils in the humbuckers either "in" or "out" of phase (full vs sharp sound). Cheers.
Hi all,
I also have one of these guitar. But mine is a lefty. I bought it new in 1981 in Montreal. If I remember well, I paid $350 back then. Haven’t played for more then 14 years but I just can’t let it go. I take it out from the old case from time to time and the feel is still great… Heavy (but it is a Les Paul copy right?), and stay in tune pretty well.
There are two double pick-ups, one switch for rythm and treble, and another switch on the potentiometer side that was for phase or something like that (I can’t remember on this one). Hope this can help.

: Hi all,
: I also have one of these guitar. I bought it used in 1998 in Smithfield Rhode Island. If I remember well, I paid $125 fo it and a year after i bought it i had got it appraised fo a little over $600.00.it is my main and favorite guitar out of four guitars.It is Heavy (but it is a Les Paul copy)and it stays in tune very well.mine is a sunburst color and looks as built in the mid 70"s to the mid 80"s.the serial number is 056162. hope this is helpful

I have a Tobacco Sunburst, bought new in ’81, Gotoh tuners and 1 switch to split coils. As soon as I bought it I started modding it. Put a DiMarzio Dual Sound in the neck of all places, brass nut, long travel brass bridge. When I re-wired, I put splitters on each p-u, and an out of phase switch. It can imitate many guitars. Like you guys have said, heavyyy. But it is my absolute fave! Bought and sold many, still have this one!
Around 1974, my parents bought me a cherry sunburst Vantage Les Paul for Christmas. It was used, purchased from Chuck Levin’s Washington Music in Wheaton, MD. So, it is an early 70’s model. They also gave me a small Peavey amp. Time to rock.
It has 2 cream humbuckers, a coil tap switch, and cream binding. Mine is not really heavy at all. 41 years later, I have had to replace a broken nut, and half of one of the pickups died. The neck pickup now sounds very weak by itself, but with the coil tap switch on, it sounds normal, I usually tapped the neck pickup anyway, to get a Fender-ish sound, so it’s really not a big deal to me. Playing mostly hard rock, metal, and some blues, I used mainly the bridge pickup.
I have always absolutely loved this guitar. It sounds great, and it obviously built like a tank. You can see through the red finish on the back and neck that they are mahagony. The tuners are good; it stays in tune very well. I changed the pick guard once, but I have since put the original one back on. I had to tighten the cord jack a couple of times, no big deal. I did put on a Scaller Straplock, but I still have the original strap buttons. It came in a really nice form fitting case.
I now have about 20 guitars, including Strats, Teles, an ESP, a Schecter, a Danaelectro, Epiphones, Ibanez, Charvel, Jackson, Taylor, Etc. I also have about 10 acoustics, and 5 basses. This guitar can hang with any of them. It has the best action of any of them.
I wouldn’t sell this guitar for any price. It is the one that got me started, and over 40 years later, it is probably the one I would grab and run with out of a burning house if I could only take one.
I have a Vantage v9 795 model number 010010, have hade it over 29 yrs. in great condition any idea it’s worth. Is accepting offers.
I am not quite sure the age guessing 80’s early 90’s.The guitar is a les paul copy made by Vantage beautiful guitar almost exactly the same as Gibsons by design.Play really well.I have been looking for some info on it for over a year now came across this site so I thought I would drop in a line if anyone knows a website that features older vantage guitars than let me know.Also Have a yamaha hr 1000 amplifier know anything about it.For sale korg ax1g multi effects pedal.Later and hope to hear back.Blair

Hi JF,
unfortuantely I can’t help you – I have a "pro martin"
two. I just got the information that it is not assosiated with C.F Martin & Co Guitars.
Did you find out anything more in the meantime.
I’d also be interested in knowing where it is from?
The guitar sounds great / looks great – now I need to know
if it sells great 😉
Thanks
Peter

I have 6 string EKO Ranger model 6 acoustic guitar.
I would like to know how old this thing is.Also is EKO still in business ? Thank You .

i have the EKO ranger 6 it was my dads he bought it in early 70s but wasnt good so give up but last week i decided to get it down from the loft its still in tune works perfectly and i must say its the best guitar ive ever played !
I bought my Ranger V1 in the early 70’s I didn’t use for 10 years and when I got it out of its case it was still in tune, although scratch board had come away but evostick sorted that out. I have restrung it and started to use it again, I go to allot of folk clubs and it sounds fare better then the new ones they have there. There’s not a mark on it and my only regret is it does not have a pick up on it but that can be sorted with no pr
blem.

A little about Eko!
: got mine in 1974 for my birhtday (15) – cost about £30 – it’s getting new machineheads now as the old plastic finally gave up the ghost – it’s the ultimate party guitar, an d Ihope my kids’ll learn on it and leave my Taylor alone!!
I have EKO Ranger VI guitar since 1981. I tink it’s better than many expensive guitars (like Ovation). I use Martin extra light bronze srings. Everybody who plaed on my guitar was very satisfied. I can not remmeber how many costs becose we changed many monets here. Bye. Nenad, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Europe.
: I have an Eko Ranger that I bought used in 1976. I have no idea how old this thing is, but it sounds great despite having a crack in its finish that was present when I paid $90 for it back then. I’m curious to know what it might be worth even though I’m not really interested in selling it. Bill
hey i have a ranger 6 i dont know anything about it but they are worth about £80-£120 which aint bad considerin my dad paid £30 for his
I have had an Eko Ranger 6 for around 27 years and it is still one of the best acoustic guitars I have played. I wouldn’t swop it for anything! Andy
hey i have to agree with you,i bought mine in 1976 and still sounds the same if not better,and i am scottish ha ha
i have got a ranger 6 six string and a ranger 12 twelve string, in good condition, does anyone know how much these would be worth.
: i have got a ranger 6 six string and a ranger 12 twelve string, in good condition, does anyone know how much these would be worth.
also the eko ranger 6 hasnt got the black eko head stock, its plain, but why?
I got one in 1985 (from John Ashton of the Psychedelic Furs) and no money would part me from it.
HOW MUCH MONEY WOULD A 1969 EKO RANGER 6 BE WORTH
they are worth about 150 quid in good condition…i’ve also got a guild jumbo which is a beauty….but it’s the ranger that goes everywhere with me and which i pick up every day
I have owned mine for app., 30 years and I wouldn’t part with it!
The neck is just fantastic if your a blues player like myself as the action is a dream!
It’s a very quiet guitar though, but when plugged into a good amp, it’s one amazing guitar!
Why arent’ more guitars made to it’s standards these days I wonder?!
Geo.
I bought mine second hand, 23 years ago. It looks great, but isn’t! As another postee has said, it is very quiet which is not what is wanted from an acoustic guitar. I only bought it because I used to own ther smallest Spanish style fender acoustic, and I used to look ridiculous on stage with it as I’m quite a hefty bloke. But the sound on it was perfect, which is something that cannot be said about the Eko ( Ranger ) Six’s. Sorry, I know this is supposed to be all about how good they are, but at least one dissenter does provide balanced view points. JH

did ya try new strings? JW
I had an Eko Ranger in the early 70s – I bought it new at a music shop in Reading. It was well-built, but quiet, as another contributor mentioned. A friend of mine in Birmingham played in a duo called Jackshill where the guitarist used a 12-string Eko Ranger.
I’ve been the proud owner of a ranger 6 for bout 5 years now,i bought it when i was 15, the is no other guitar i have ever played that give you that Ranger 6 feeling and you guys who own em known exactly what i mean !!

: I have a Vantage Avenger X77 and I am looking for some info on it. Like years made, list price and a little history on them. Can anyone help?
I bought a Vantage avenger in 1983 they were around for a few years around that time. It was white and I expected to get the same quality guitar as the VS695. The guitar cost at that time about $320. But I was extrememly disappointed that the intonation was terrible and due to the floating bridge it just would not stay in tune very well. So I sold it to someone pretty cheap.
its the best guitar ive ever played… and so cheap. fukin rad mate! what a loss for you

Hi Marie,
The serialnumber (most likely 6 digits) and model number are usually stamped on the end of the headstock. Ex: I have a Model 28 from 1952 which is stamped "XXXXXX 28". If you look here http://www.gitarren.se/radotips/sernr_levin.html you will find info on which year a certain serial number was produced. I have seen guitars similar to mine, and they were worth around 3-4000 SEK here in Sweden ($3-400). I won’t get rich by selling my Levin guitar, but it is a nice collectible anyway.
Good Luck
Göran..

What can anyone tell me about them?
I bought this cool little guitar in 1995 when I wanted a thin-line acoustic / electric. Paid $199 for it and have been using the “stuff” out of it ever since. It’s white with Black trim has an oval sound hole and you can’t hurt it. It plays well (with a little adlustment ) and sounds great. It’s been a tough, faithful old pal for a long time. I like that it’s 5150, just like me.
I have the same guitar (Bently 5150) and have been playing it for over 20 years. Mine is black and turquoise. It’s easy to play, meaning my hand and fingers don’t get tired fretting the strings. None of the strings “buzz”. It’s taken a beating over the years and has required no maintenance at all. It’s a great little guitar, and sounds awesome with a new set of strings.

HELP!!! I have an Ariel acoustic guitar purchased in 1971 in Van Nuys California at Studio City Music. If I remember correctly, I believe the gentleman there said it was an off shoot of Yahama. However, I cannot find it anywhere on the internet. Has anyone heard of Ariel guitars? If so, how can I find more about them, and maybe even what the guitar is worth? It is made in Japan, and the model number is C303. Thank you!!!!!
I also have an Ariel C303 acoustic that I purchased at a yard sale 10 years ago. It needed new machine heads and bridge buttons. The finish had house paint splattered on it. After a lot of work it now looks and plays like brand new. No one has ever been able to tell me anything about it except that it’s probably very early 70’s. With all of the guitar data bases it’s amazing that there is no information to be found.
I am after a 12/6 string doubleneck any make will do. Price has to be reasonable.
: I am after a 12/6 string doubleneck any make will do. Price has to be reasonable.
In reply to Mr. Tim Kelly:
Dear Mr. Kelly,
I have two 12/6 double necks that you may find of interest to you. The more expensive of the two is a beautiful solid body Ibanez Artist. This guitar was manufactured in 1981 or 1982. It is a beautifully grained dark walnut color. I believe it is made of solid mahogany. It has all gold appointments. Both necks are equipped with ’58er humbuckers with mini-toggles on both necks to switch out to single coils. Fret inlay markers are abalone in a rosewood board. I will do a little more research on this guitar and let you know if I can tell you a little more about it. Included is the original plush lined hard shell case. Now, I don’t know what your budget is, but I am asking $1295.00 for this gorgeous, unmarked guitar with case. If this particular guitar is of interest to you, I will certainly consider your offer.
The second 12/6 I have is more realistically priced, just as clean, and also includes the original plush lined hard shell case. The guitar is manufactured by Hondo–don’t be put off because of the brand. I believe it to be of special manufacture by Hondo and is no "el-cheapo." Pick-ups are gold plated DiMarzios, great sounding units. The other hardware on this guitar is either gold plated or solid brass (solid brass bridges as well). Sorry I cannot furnish photos, but as far as the Hondo, think vintage Danelectro double neck, off-white with the copper-burst. Again, very pretty and a great player. By the way, the Ibanez Artist is quite reminiscent of a 12/6 Gibson (although solid bodied). I am asking $595.00 for the Hondo with the OHSC, and again, am open to a reasonable offer.
I am a collector and not a dealer–these are the only 12/6s in my collection and will part with one or the other. I hope you may be interested and would definitely enjoy hearing from you. Please accept my best wishes and kindest regards.
Yours very truly,
John

I will do a little more research on this guitar and let you know if I can tell you a little more about it. Included is the original plush lined hard shell case. Now, I don’t know what your budget is, but I am asking $1295.00 for this gorgeous, unmarked guitar with case. If this particular guitar is of interest to you, I will certainly consider your offer.
: : The second 12/6 I have is more realistically priced, just as clean, and also includes the original plush lined hard shell case. The guitar is manufactured by Hondo–don’t be put off because of the brand. I believe it to be of special manufacture by Hondo and is no "el-cheapo." Pick-ups are gold plated DiMarzios, great sounding units. The other hardware on this guitar is either gold plated or solid brass (solid brass bridges as well). Sorry I cannot furnish photos, but as far as the Hondo, think vintage Danelectro double neck, off-white with the copper-burst. Again, very pretty and a great player. By the way, the Ibanez Artist is quite reminiscent of a 12/6 Gibson (although solid bodied). I am asking $595.00 for the Hondo with the OHSC, and again, am open to a reasonable offer.
: : I am a collector and not a dealer–these are the only 12/6s in my collection and will part with one or the other. I hope you may be interested and would definitely enjoy hearing from you. Please accept my best wishes and kindest regards.

: John,
: Do you still own the 6/12 Hondo? I would be interested in purchasing if available.
: Thanks,

: I am after a 12/6 string doubleneck any make will do. Price has to be reasonable.
In reply to Mr. Tim Kelly:
Dear Mr. Kelly,
I have two 12/6 double necks that you may find of interest to you. The more expensive of the two is a beautiful solid body Ibanez Artist. This guitar was manufactured in 1981 or 1982. It is a beautifully grained dark walnut color. I believe it is made of solid mahogany. It has all gold appointments. Both necks are equipped with ’58er humbuckers with mini-toggles on both necks to switch out to single coils. Fret inlay markers are abalone in a rosewood board. I will do a little more research on this guitar and let you know if I can tell you a little more about it. Included is the original plush lined hard shell case.

Hey there,
I also have a Marlin guitar, an electric. I was wondering, have you found something about Marlin guitars yet? And if you do, can you please e-mail me about is? I spent this whole day looking fot ANYTHING about Marlin, but I found NOTHING, except for your post and someone elses post with the same question…
Thanx, bye now
Hi,
I have a Marlin "Solid State" (Magnum ma-200-t) guitar amp [model # 108], and I cannot find anything about it online. I have searched for a long time searchin for prices, and its worth, but I’ve found nothing but this site.
Hope you can help.
Hi there. I was just surfing the net and I thought I would search for Marlin Guitars. I also have one, a copy of a Strat. I bought it incredibly cheap at a second hand store(£30) and totally rewired it, refinished it, stuck a Dillon Wittman Jack Tuner on it I also got for next to nothing in a sale, and I have to say I was quite impressed. I bought an Encore guitar when I started and I have to say, the pickups on the Marlin are far better than the Encore. Whether they are original or not I don’t know, but the middle pickup is what I believe is called ‘reversed polarity’ or something. Apparently it does the same thing as a humbucker. Unfortunately the frets are knackered and so I need to do something about it.
Anyway, I once read an advert for another Marlin guitar in a paper, and it said that it was a ‘Marlin by Hohner’. Whether this is true or not, I have no idea.
Keep Well
I have a Marlin electric which I’m about to trade in, thankfully. I think Marlin is just another name for a very cheap copy company buying in cheap guitars and sticking their name on them. If you look at other very cheap Strat copies they are all identical, no matter what they are called!!! I’ll be glad to see the back of mine.
ok i TRIED emailing you but hotmail is being a pain, i haven’t found anything on Marlin guitars, and i dunno about you but mine is crap, ohhh how i want a fender strat, well feel free to email me or post again if you find anything out, as will i, tho i doubt i could find anything, i called my local music store and they didn’t know anything either, bah
well take care
toodles
-Charmaine
just wanted to say i emailed you. incase you saw this first or whatever yeah………
basically i’d like to know if this is a crap guitar or not.
if it’s worth putting new machine heads on, and maybe how much it’s worth? and i think i heard they dont make these anymore.
thanx toodles
All the guitar has on it is "Vantage" on the head, and a fancy V above it. I cant find any info about it. HELP!!
: All the guitar has on it is "Vantage" on the head, and a fancy V above it. I cant find any info about it. HELP!!
Garry. From my research, Vantage guitars were made by Samick.. I have a Les Paul Special copy w/ set neck and a rather heavy body. This guitar has sustain and is a great guitar. The problems are input jack and volume and tone controls were scratchy until it was used awhile. I dont know the model # yet. I want another.
.Like GAry, I have a VAntage guitar, Les Paul Copy, very heavy instrument,with no info on it…no. on the back is 060742, I assume that is serial no. Plays great but doesn’t stay in tune well…just looking for info on the instrument..any help appreciated..

I have this fender strat that has this gear that I cannot seem to locate parts for. I need the lock downs for the top nut and a wammy for this awesome axe. The nut and bridge assembley is all crome. this is a great guitar and I would love to find the rest of the pieces.
