The 2022 Vintage Guitar Pandemic Boom
This was a year unlike any other. The vintage guitars in your collection are now worth more than they’ve ever been. This book focuses on why this current boom happened and why it is unlike previous ones. It also focuses on which guitars are now the best investments and which ones are rising fastest in value. The data is presented using both charts and tables. Photographs of the most important guitars are also included.

Now Is the Time to Buy that Vintage Guitar
The most in-depth book ever written about vintage guitars and how their values changed over time.
This book examines over 20 years of vintage guitar price trends and shows what factors affect the vintage guitar market both during good times and bad. Guitars made by the “Big Five” (Fender, Gibson, Gretsch, Martin, and Rickenbacker) represent the bulk of this work. However, a limited sampling of other significant brands (Ampeg, B.C. Rich, Bigsby, Charvel, Danelectro, D’Angelico, Dean, Dobro, Epiphone, Guild, Hamer, Ibanez, Jackson, Kay, Kramer, Mosrite, National, PRS, Stella, Travis Bean and Vox) are also included.
Ram W. Tuli loves to share his passion for vintage guitars and amps with other collectors. This is his third “vintage instrument” book and is broader in scope than his previous books. His first book, Naked and Dimed, My Lifelong Quest for Awesome Tone (2019) examines the tone and textures of vintage Fender amps. His second book, Stratocasters and Telecasters, A Love Story (2020) examines his love for Fender’s two most iconic guitars.

Today, a shootout between the 55 Twin, 56 Pro, 59 Bandmaster, and 59 Bassman. Which sounded best? Twin … but I was totally digging the Pro.
1959 Bassman vs. 1959 Bandmaster. Both awesome. No doubt about it, Bandmaster is just a bit better.
Today in the tone tomb: the 5A3 and 5E3 get a workout. Nothing sounds better in them than the 55 Esquire.
I have 4 books I need to finish …. But this is what I’ll probably do all day.
Today in the Tone Tomb… it was a 3-tube wonder amp blow out. The Champ was the Champ as always.
I love Fender amps above all, but I always have a place in my heart for the 1960 to 61 Martin DeArmond-made gems. Today I felt the 1961 ES-350 T needed some love.
My 1931 Martin OM-28 finally arrived!! I was on pins and needles as I tracked it as it moved slowly westward from Nashville. Eric Newell did an awesome job packing it. I must now sell two guitars (for every one that comes in, two must go out). If you read my latest book, the one featured on the cover is one I will likely sell. Not sure what the other one will be yet. It’s actually heartbreaking to even think about.
