Different musicians and music enthusiasts have different preferences when it comes to music and musical instruments...it just makes sense after all. When it comes to vintage guitars, some people consider any guitar that is more than 20 or 30 years old to be "vintage," so this could even include a guitar from the early to mid 2000s. On the other hand, some purists insist that a guitar is truly only a vintage model if it hails from the 1970s or 1980s, or even before.
Regardless of what your definition of a vintage guitar really is, if you're in the market to purchase a vintage pre-owned guitar and don't want to overpay, or if you're interested in selling a vintage guitar and want a fast and easy transaction, you should consider stopping by Greenbrier Pawn first. We have been buying and selling musical instruments for 30 years, and we know all about vintage guitars. Come make a deal on a Fender, Gibson, or another vintage guitar.

We Buy & Sell Vintage Guitars from the 1970s
The Fender Stratocaster and Gibson Les Paul guitars, both introduced in the 1950s, were highly popular in the 1970s. Ritchie Blackmore, Eric Clapton, and Rory Gallagher were all playing Fender Strats during this time period. Jimmy Page, Peter Frampton, Joe Perry, and other big names were played Gibson Les Paul electric guitars in the 1970s. If you would like to buy a guitar from this era, or if you have a guitar from this time period, come see us at Greenbrier Pawn so we can do business.
Vintage Guitars from the 1980s & Beyond
The Les Paul and Stratocaster guitars were still highly popular in the 1980s, although some changes started being made. To keep up with the needs of heavy metal musicians during this time period, Strat-inspired guitars with modifications became very popular. Additionally, Japanese guitars like from brands like Ibanez and Yamaha became popular among American musicians during this time period as well. You could say that this was a turning point for what was popular in the guitar industry.
