ABOUT THIS COLLECTION

Most investors buying on their own behalf will acquire one high priced guitar. Due to its beautiful appearance, high price point and popularity they believe it to be the best investment. I compare this strategy to investing all capitol in one very popular stock. If it is too popular there is an increased chance for over-valuation and thus lower return on investment when there is an inevitable correction. Whether stocks or vintage guitars, it is not best to put all your eggs in one basket.
This portfolio is comprised of ten solid, mid priced vintage guitars mainstream investors often overlook because it is far more labor intensive to identify ten mid-priced instruments rather than one high priced instrument. I compare this strategy to investing in a mutual fund. Spreading capitol with small investments in a variety of stocks. Many of these instruments are not in pristine condition yet they often increase in value at higher rates than their higher priced counterparts. This portfolio has a preconceived diversity in brands to offer greater security and growth than one would find with the purchase of a single pristine instrument. This portfolio is an excellent 21st century alternative to stock or real estate investments.
Most people have heard of Gibson guitars. It is a predictably solid brand and this portfolio contains two Gibson beauties for safety. Other lesser known brands include Mosrite, Gretch, Maton, Guild, Harmony and Hagstrom. These were chosen for growth and are beginning to surge in popularity as available supply declines. This is a solid well balanced growth portfolio. $21,975 is the current as-is market value for this portfolio. Below are photos and detailed descriptions of each specific vintage guitar in the portfolio. Enjoy!
