Vintage guitars and amps generally from the 1960's to the 1980's,  older Yamaha, Morris, Suzuki, Alvarez, etc.... (old generally means collectable and often good) acoustic steel string folk guitars and also Fender electric guitars, strats and tele's. and other vintage electric guitars of various makes.
Also have 15 to 20 watt amplifiers (amps) such as Fender and Yamaha that are perfect for small venues and sometimes will fit in a suitcase.
Prices on amps range around 130 to 150 dollars for solid state but good sounding older models.
A vintage acoustic steel stringed guitar from the 1970's might sell for 150 to 400 dollars or more depending on playability. The hand built Japanese electric  guitars badged for Fender Japan by Fugi-Gen Gakki enjoy a top reputation among guitar enthusiasts.

Each guitar is checked, cleaned and adjusted with new strings.

To get a new guitar close to the level of those old vintage guitars would cost around $1,000 to $2,000 dollars, sometimes more.
Our guitars are made from unique tone woods, some no longer available. A modern 'fair' guitar of  fair to good quality costs around $300.00 dollars for an acoustic one, but generally it can not compete tone wise with an older guitar.
It is thought by guitar experts that it takes decades, forty to fifty years for an acoustic guitar to 'open up' and the original material has to be of good quality to do that. Many of these guitars are pre. 1980,  what is referred to as 'vintage'.

These older guitars are collector guitars that make a good investment. They are unique and will never be replicated. Think of vintage electric and steel string folk acoustics as a good investment.  Playable art of value.
Is a Telecaster from 1982 J.V. series, Japan Vintage electric guitar worth a lot of money? Yes, and there is a limited supply. They go for 800 to 2,000 dollars now because of their extreme quality and  playability.
I have some interesting investment guitars like that on the high end and some budget guitars also.. 
Need a  nice vintage acoustic????? I have a  variety of Japanese FG Yamaha's from the 70's., The golden age of Japan guitar making was the 60's through the early 1980's. 

Want to sing around the pubs... or just at home.... not sing and just strum...? I have lots of acoustic and electric guitars of collector investment quality. They sound great and are nice to play.
