Where do I start with Clay Harrell's fascinating and fact-filled website,
Vintage Guitars Info? Clay not only collects vintage quality guitars, but presents a wealth of information for collectors, players and afficianados. He specializes in CF Martin, Gibson, Fender, Rickenbacker, Dobro, National, Gretsch, and a few others. He documents the history of many many guitar models (as well as a few ukuleles, resonator guitars, lap steel guitars, and other models).
Mr. Harrell has a great interview published in Collector's Weekly, and I'll link it
here. You can get more information there than I could give you by cutting and pasting together his writings and information.
If you enjoy learning about fine, old guitars, you'll enjoy his amazing website. I'll just leave you with a few photos of some interesting instruments and parts.
