Vintage Guitars On eBay
A vintage guitar varies from pre 1980 to pre 1950 depending on whom you talk to, but the older it is, often the more valuable it is. A lot depends on it's condition but a good luthier can fix most defects in order to make the guitar playable, it's questionable if it will retain its value though.
