1956 Magnatone

[texlokman]

I can't seem to find any literature on my guitar, and I would really like to know what it's worth and it's history. Anyone know where or how I can research this?

Hi texlokman,

So you don't think your guitar is listed in the 1956 Magnatone Guitar and Amplifier catalog I have listed in the Catalog Section?

Look Here:


In general, Magnatone guitar literature is difficult to find, and expensive to purchase when you do find it. Being able to look at a 1956 catalog for $10 is an outstanding bargain since you could look for years and never find a catalog.

As far as value, let us know what model you have and we'll try to help. If you don't know the model of your Magnatone, either ID it through the catalog or post a picture or two so we can see what you have. Instructions for posting pictures are in the Help thread at the top of the Forum topics. You are right, Magnatone guitar information is hard to come by. sb

Hey texlokman,

I found this Magnatone article in Vintage Guitar magazine. The focus is on amplifiers and lap steels but you may find something here of interest to you. sb
