Re: Giannini Guitars' Value
Posted by Peter M Grant on Sat, 10/03/09 - 21:45:04.
Hello
I have a Giannini guitar bought in 1974 for £36, and it is superb, irreplaceable, and priceless.
A couple of years ago I tried to buy someone a new guitar as a present, with a budget of £550
and went through a series of stinking, braying
instruments, (stinking of perfume from inside, and braying with a resonance about like the first wire-wound string, dominated any other notes).
Those were not Giannini guitars.
Giannini guitars seem to have declined in quality and value, over the years but if you sincerely think that yours is a good one (sorry for the breakin the message) then hold out for a good price.
There are so many tests for a good guitar that there is not room or time to go into that,
but to give an analogy it is like viewing with
good binoculars, which focus perfectly so that one is entranced by what they show.
With a good guitar every chord which you make has a special and distinct richness and value.
Free advice
Never change the stings of a guitar unless they break. New strings take months if not years to settle.
I only wrote to you because my particular Giannini guitar is so good.
