Ask musician friends or at music stores, who is the best vintage guitar person in your area. Keep askin and you'll hear the same name or names a few times, then go to that person with your guitar. But do not take any one expert's advice.

In addition to the Blue Book, you can check the Vintage Guitar Price Guide. Or get a copy of Vintage Guitar Magazine and contact some of the dealers who advertise in that. George Gruhn in Nashville has an evaluating service that uses your pictures and your written description to give you an estimate.

Watch for your model Tak on eBay...the asking prices are often unreliable but you may learn more about your guitar. And if you see your model more than three times, you can get a general feel for that particular marketplace...it's all information.

Join the Takamine Guitar Forum and ask lots of questions: www.takamineforum.com/

Take your time and be persistent, and you'll know when you've put together a good estimate.

I'm not familiar with the model number of your guitar and it doesn't appear in my copy of the Bluebook. If it is a "prelawsuit" Tak it could be collectable, especially if it is a copy of a Martin model.

During the 1970's, Takamine built Martin's Sigma series guitars until companies changing hands forced Martin to find another supplier. Tak then went on to copy Martin models right down to the script on the headstock until Martin threatened to sue over copyright infringement. These guitars are the "prelawsuit" Takamines.

I would start by figuring out if you have a prelawsuit Tak by comparing the logo script on your guitar to a Martin of the same era. It would also be useful to figure out if your guitar is a copy of a Martin model. I have 1976 and 1977 Martin catalogs in the Catalog Library that would be an easy reference. It's only $10 for one months of access.



If you can establish what you have, you can then find values for other Tak guitars with similar characteristics rather than search for your exact model.

The label in the sound hole has the series number DF 919S. The guitar is in very good condition and has a hard case. I am considering selling it but need help to establish its value.
All advice welcome,
Caroline
