The term "vintage guitars" actually has different definitions for many people. Generally, it's considered vintage if it's at least 20 years old, although some people don't really consider a guitar to be vintage unless it's 30 years old, and some think only guitars from the 1980s or before deserve the title. Regardless, vintage guitars are older guitars, and if you're wondering if they are worth anything, the answer is yes -- in most cases.
If you have a vintage guitar that you're thinking about selling, you'll want to sell to the right buyer -- someone who appreciates what you have and is willing to pay you accordingly. If you're in Chesapeake, the answer is simple: Greenbrier Pawn.

Sometimes selling like that can be a hassle, though, and it can be time-consuming.

The Fender Stratocaster, which is often called a "Strat," was released in 1954 and was (and still is) consider Fender's top-of-the-line guitar. It's still a favorite today among many musicians, including Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, and Stevie Ray Vaughn. The Stratocaster has been continuously manufactured by Fender since it was released, and it remains a favorite today.

How Much Are Vintage Guitars?
How much does a vintage guitar cost? This is a popular question whether you're buying or selling. Of course, that depends on the particular guitar that you have. A high-end model like a Fender Stratocaster is going to be worth more than a no-name guitar, although both have value, of course. Also, things like if being autographed by a famous musician will add to the price, as will things like whether or not it comes with an amplifier or other accessories.
