      My name is frank Gugino,it was my grandfather that made these guitars.Lately,there have been some interest in Gugino guitars.I have three examples of what he made,a guitar,a mendola,and a violin.I sent some info on "Carmelo Gugino" the maker to a Scott Froelich in Buffalo and to another gentleman I believe in the Chicago area. I will tell you what I know if you write me.

      regards Frank a. Gugino Sr.

      1. Gugino Superba Guitar
        Kristen

        Mr. Gugino,

        I have a Gugino Superba Guitar that belonged to the grandfather of my Mother-in-Law. It has the mother of pearl inlay and is in very good condition. Two pieces of inlays have fallen off on the neck, but other than that the guitar looks great. Do you know how much this instrument would be worth?

        Thank you,

        Kristen Crino

      I have an old archtop Gugino.A beautiful instrument with curly maple back and sides. I can’t find much info about the maker, other than he apprenticed under D’Angelico and was responsible for some innovations in neck design. The guitar is around 70 years old and in excellent condition. Does anyone have any knowledge of this maker or the value of his instruments? Thanks

        Dan Snyder

        Hi. I was wondering if you were still looking for a Fender Flame Guitar. I have a Black Standard model, all original in close to mint condition with original hardshell case that I am looking to sell. I’m looking to get $1500.00 USD for it, but will consider all rreasonable offers. Don’t insult me,. I know what this guitar is and have a good idea of its rarity, and hate to part with it as I’ve owned it since 1987, but I am looking to replace it with a vintage Stratocaste I’ve been trying to get my hands on. I’ve seen values on this guitar as high as $4000.00, so my price is fair. You can email me at the above address if you are interested, but don’t wait too long. At this price it might not last long. I can send pics if you are interested

        My email is [email protected]

      It’s a 684. Check the base of the neck (look in the sound hole) you might see a serial number.

        the pooch dog

        I bought mine new in 1978, they had been making them for several years.

        I still have it and adore it. It is indeed model 684BK (black). I think I paid $300 in the 70s, likely worth alot more now. Think Gibson told them to cease and desist production due to infringement on their design.

        I have a friend in France who has two of them! What coincidence. He has a black and a tan. The tan has warped neck; black still plays nice.

          AJ

          I also have one but mine has a sunburst finish its in great shape but Gibson sued ibanez for copying their design. because of this ibanez was only able to maufacter i believe its either 2,000 or 20,000 but they are extremely rare. when i went to have fine priced the man couldnt give me a definite price because he said he had only seen two of them in his lifetime. but that its worth holding onto because it is worth a good amount of money.

            Hi this was my first guitar purchase in the 70’s…It has been played a lot…this is the easiest guitar to play and has a very rich quality sound…I also own a Martin but prefer the ease of playing my Ibanez…it not only looks brand new shiny black but it draws compliments wherever I take it….no regrets on paying the 350.00 back in the 70’s for this black beauty…Wouk definitely recommend this guitar to anyone…..did not know about the Gibson infringement thing…interesting…

        2. Re: Ibanez Concord Hummingbird Acoustic Guitar
          Chris J Canning

          I bought mine in early 1976 from a shop in Reading (UK). It was sat in the window when I first saw it and I did not give a thought about buying it. But the shop owner put it in my hands and suggested I try it. I was hooked straight away. I think I only paid about £85.00 for it then.

          I still have that guitar (30 years and counting)it’s seen me through a lot of good gigs, helped me through some bad times as well and together we’ve written some songs. These days it sits in my office and comes out occasionally during my lunch hour. It sounds terrific and if I’m really honest as good as my Martin D18 which is quite new and not worn in yet.

          I actually had a friend back in the 80’s who had a Gibson Hummingbird and he preferred the sound from my Ibanez.

          At 30 years old I’m thinking of treating it to a set of Grover machine heads.

        Guitars made pre-1975 did not have serial numbers. I bought mine in 1973 and I still love it–it’s my favorite guitar.

        Jacob

        Hi all,

        I have my dads old Ibanez Concord and am trying to work out the history of them and if they are worth anything? No intention to sell but always nice to know if you’re sitting on a gold mine or not!

      2. Ibanez Concord Hummingbird
        Jimbo

        Back in the early 90s my dad found one in a skip. Real state. So I cleaned it up and restored it a bit. Got some dings on it, possibly from being in the skip but could’ve been the previous user(s). I won’t sell it I still have it now almost 30 years on. Sounds great. Warm and with depth.

        My understanding is as above, Ibanez copied the Gibson Hummingbird but was actually considered a better build and better guitar. Gibson threatened legal action. Don’t know if they did or not. Either way Ibanez stopped making them. In decent condition they are valued around £400-500 GBP today.

        hobosolero

        Great to see this thread – I bought mine back around 1973 from a shop in Shaftesbury Avenue; it’s orange’red-back like a burst o’sun! can’t remember what I paid for it then but I still record & gig with it. Have never found another guitar to match it for sustain and action – it is simply the bees knees for action and tone for both jazz, blues & ballads. It still beats my Martin, Fender & Tanglewood guitars

    1. Re: Baby Martin guitar
      Joel S

      Worth quite a bit if you still have it, it is pre-war, with a 1 3/4 nut, and a slot head, at least it should be if the serial number you gave is correct.Depending on condition there are two for sale at dealers right now for over $76K each. I am sure you do not have this anymore, hope you did well on it, looks like someone may have been looking to make some money on your lack of knowledge.

      : I’m looking to sell a baby Martin guitar. The numbers inside are "5-18", and "63477". Anyone know what this guitar is worth?

      I’m not sure I agree with the prior advice you received. I think the person may have confused your guitar with a Martin backpacker. The 63477 number is a serial number. Your guitar, if it is a Martin parlor guitar is very old and probably very valuable. Perhapvalued at several thousand dollars. If it’s one of the newer backpacker guitars with a very narrow triangular shape, it’s worth less than $200. Take it to a reputable appraiser for sound advice. If you email me a picture, I can get you an approximate value.

        I did some research and found your model listed in one of my vintage catalogues. It is indeed very old. Martin serial numbers are sequenced chronologically. Current serial numbers have reached the 7 digit numbers. I have a 1966 model with a number in the 200,000’s. your number is in the 60000 range, so that should give you some indication that it is very old. The Martin factory can tell you the exact year your guitar was made if you call them and give them a serial number.

        My books suggest that your guitar is minimally worth $2000.Much depends on the age, condition and the demand for that particular model.

    3. Re: Baby Martin guitar
      Lynn Fife

      I saw a Baby Martin Guitar at the Kerrville Music Festival. They just don’t have the same tonal quality of the bigger ones, but still sound pretty good. Martin is usually a higher priced guitar, but they discontinued the Baby due to tonal quality not being able to keep up to their reputation of sound quality. The one I saw was worth between #200 and $400 depending on condition. I do travel alot and have a baby Taylor (same problem with sound quliaty). I have someone who is looking to purchase a Baby Martin. Please let me know what you want for it and perhaps I can move it for you. Thanks: Lynn Fife [email protected]

      Not that you care now but everyone raves about this guitar. I paid approx. $96 second hand for mine which was in great condition.

      I think you would be lucky to see $100 – $150 top end for this guitar, it is a beauty and everyone that owns one would undoubtedly agree… Mine has served me like a true champion, it still has that sustain, beautiful at such a good price.

      Hope that helps

      Xander!

        Xander, thanks for the input, I am a little late in following up on my original post from June… busy you know.
        Anyhow, I have come to the conclusion the Gemini II is an excellent guitar, stays in tune, as you mention has good sustain, and mine was free. Actually it appears mine has been modified at some point encapsulated machine heads, a pickup, and a new bridge. I have no intention of parting with it.

  19. My Ibanez Concord 762 J
    John Gronseth

    Hi. I want to know more about this accoustic guitar. Bought in Norway
    1980. What is it worth today. Is this a quality instrument or..?

    1. Re: My Ibanez Concord 762 J
      Get FUCKED

      What is it worth? It’s worth SHIT! Take that guitar and break it over your goddamn head! And no, it is not a quality instrument….ya doushe bag;-)

      1. Ibanez Concord 762 J
        Gemberbier

        The Ibanez Concord 762 was the most expensive Ibanez Concord dreadnought, because of the D-45 inlays and the excellent materials. It came in two versions: 762 J (Jacaranda = Brazilian Rosewood) and 762 M (Maple).
        Both versions 762 J and 762 M sound fantastic.

        This is the result of Russellw’s research about the historic prices in Australian Dollars (I don’t know how high the AUD was in 1975-1977):
        http://www.ibanezcollectors.com/discus/messages/11/5571.html
        Here you can see that they were ± TWICE the price of the average Concord dreadnought:
        750 AUD
        760 AUD

        So: top of the line Concord, but just under the Tama range.
        They are rare: I could find only ONE in the sales results on Reverb
        https://reverb.com/au/item/1923432-vintage-ibanez-concord-762m-1976-natural-japan

        My personal opinion is, that this is on the low side, if you consider the prices that were paid for the 12-string hockeystick Kingman replica, the 647-12:
        https://reverb.com/item/11199619-ibanez-concord-647-12-1970s-amazing-condition
        https://reverb.com/item/18912078-ibanez-concord-647-12-12-strings-japan-1975
        https://reverb.com/item/11691833-used-ibanez-647-12-concorde-acoustic-guitar-1970-s

        If the condition is Very Good / Excellent a Concord 762 J or M should be in the €600-800 range.
        The historic price in AUD, but then in Euros would be appropriate €750/760.

      the dean evo premium is an amazing guitar. it is a modern and cheaper version of the les paul it is heavy and the push and pull split pick ups the symour duncan pearly gates add to the great sound and sustain of this beautiful guitar. i have the green one hand made in the czech republic good luck finding one

      : I have been looking for a Gibson Les Paul and am limited on funds. I can’t find a Les Paul "resonably" priced! I have looked at the DEAN line of EVO’s and wonder if anyone out there has one of the "Premium" EVO models. Are they any good, do they have a "Les Paul" sound, good quality for the money?? Any help would be cool…Thanks Mike

      1. Re: DEAN EVO, Premium...GOOD, BAD,???
        Harold

        :I have owned several Gibson’s including a 73 Les Paul Custom that I bought new, a 1978 flying V and currently own a Cherry Les Paul. I just bought a Dan Evo Premium. I stopped into a music store while in Scottsdale on business. I wanted to try out some amps. The guitar that looked to test the amp with that was closest to my Les Paul was the Evo Premium. I didn’t buy the amp, but I bought the Evo Premium. First of all the craftsmanship is amazing. Secondly, it weighs more than my Les Paul, has waayyy better action (i.e., it has fatter frets that are great for hammer ons and pull offs and make for a very fast action). Lastly, it has Pearly Gate pickups (these are very very lively compared with stock Gibson humbuckers). It was the action and sound that sold me. Plus, it is just so darn beautiful. If this guitar was hand crafted by Americans instead of Eastern Europeans – who get paid a lot less – it would probably cost more than a Les Paul. And Eastern Europeans know a lot about making fine instruments. I can’t recommend it enough. It is my favorite guitar (I am even considering selling my cherry Les Paul).

        : I have been looking for a Gibson Les Paul and am limited on funds. I can’t find a Les Paul "resonably" priced! I have looked at the DEAN line of EVO’s and wonder if anyone out there has one of the "Premium" EVO models. Are they any good, do they have a "Les Paul" sound, good quality for the money?? Any help would be cool…Thanks Mike

        I have the Dean Evo Special, which is all mahogany rather than maple, which is the premium. I have tried both and they both sounds great. I have silver cased humbuckers on mine, which gives a superb Les Paul sound. With the neck pickup able to be played as a single coil, you can also get a killer Fender strat sound out of it. Both Evo models only have single tone and volume contols, but you can get such a wide variety of sound out of the coil tapping features, it makes up for it. I hope this helps you out…I love mine!

        I bought a Dean Evo FLame Top, and everyone says it’s a great guitae. I like mine, but i can’t use it till I finish paying for it, cause it’s on layaway. $500 dollars, I can’t wait for it!
