 As expected March 10, 2008
Average book for the price. There are some models in the Gibson section that are not listed though.

The best book on VINTAGE guitars available January 4, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you're a total guitar nut like me, this is a must have book. The 2008 edition is the best yet. It's a tremendous resource for brand information, model specs, history, and pricing. While I found some errors and disagree with a few price listings, it is still one of the best books of its kind. It's a toss-up of which I like better between The Vintage Guitar 2008 Pricing Guide and the Blue Book of Electric Guitar 10th Anniversary Edition. The Blue Book of Electric Guitars 10th edition has more brands and is a bigger book, but the Vintage Guitar Price Guide 2008 has more accurate information and better research. For example, the Blue Book only has a few USA Kramers included, while the VG book has more vintage models listed and a better written history. But the VG book doesn't include a great company/luither like Wollerman, while the Blue Book has a nice section for that brand. The Blue Book has a better section on ESP, and the VG has a better section on Charvel. The VG Guide covers Gibson and Fender EXTENSIVELY. The Vintage Guitar Guide also covers a lot of amps, pedals, mandolins, and has sections dedicated to basses and acoustics. I say a serious guitargeek needs both books. Neither is overly impressive with accurate pricing, but the Blue Book provides more ranges which is nice. They both do give you a ball-park figure and lots of fun info. I read both of them cover-to-cover, yearly.
2008 Official Vintage Guitar Magazine Price Guide December 26, 2007
The absolute best book available for retail pricing information. It covers guitars, bass guitars, amplifiers and related equipment. It also includes some historical and/or descriptive information. A must have book if you are into buying, selling, or trading!!!
 Helpful December 21, 2007
The 3rd edition of this Price guide I've purchase and the most complete to date. Glad to see they title it by YEAR instead of 1st, 2nd etc. This guide is helpful for buyers and sellers of instuments to get a better understanding of the item and some history as well. Also covers
guitar amps, effects, Basses, banjos, ukeleles, steels, and mandolins.
I've noticed some typo's and printing errors, but the numerous photos and decriptions are good
