Vintage guitars have character. From our modern vantage point, many have a retro look with funky colors, wacky shapes, and worn finishes. We all dream of owning iconic holy-grail vintage instruments like a Gibson Les Paul or a Pre-CBS Fender, but the vintage market for those top-tier instruments has far out-priced most of us. At the same time that Fender and Gibson were making the first Les Pauls, Strats, and Teles, other instrument manufacturers such as Harmony, Silvertone, and Kay were making their own guitars that were designed for mass scale.
You could find many of them in Sears Department stores. Even though they may not match the quality level or legendary status of old Fenders and Gibsons, they have a feel and legacy of a vintage instrument. Introduced as the Silhouette in , Harmony renamed the model the Bobkat in The Bobkat comes in several models. The single-pickup H14 , the two-pickup H15 , and the premium H19 featuring an advanced vibrato. If you were willing to pay an extra 10 bucks, the H14V and H15V models came with a whammy bar or the nearly identical H17 , which features a gloss finish and slightly different neck.
All models use high-output DeArmond Gold Foil pickups and have a rosewood fretboard. The guitar regained popularity when St. Vincent started touring with an H15V a few years back. For extra groovy colors, check out the Color Kat versions of the guitar, which come in vintage colors like Candy Apple Red.
Hartley Peavey was determined to create an instrument for "the needs of the working musician" that would be sold at a "fair and reasonable price. This guitar is all about offering a wide range of tones with a somewhat eccentric circuit board. The guitar also features an out-of-phase switch. The Univox Hi-Flier is the sound of punk rock, with a reverse offset body shape. The guitar was modeled after the relatively pricey Mosrite Ventures , aiming to make an equally cool guitar more affordable.
The Hi-Flier was made in Japan starting in and went through four variations of production models. Phase 1 and Phase 2 guitars feature two P90 pickups. The Phase 2 model has smaller fret markers, a three-way toggle switch replacing a rocker switch, and a plain white pickguard. Lee Ranaldo of Sonic Youth famously played a Phase 2 guitar.
Phase 4 Hi-Fliers keep the humbuckers and have a traditional bridge instead of a vibrato-style bridge. And perhaps the greatest endorsement of the guitar: Cobain also loved to destroy them. Some models are equipped with pancake pickups, while others have red foils, and you can find them in single, double, and triple pickup configurations.
But all of them share the same cool, quasi-symmetrical body, with a double-cutaway at the 18th fret. In the mid-'50s, most Silvertones were produced by Danelectro and sold at Sears stores at budget-friendly prices. A few of their popular models—the , , and —came bundled with a case that was outfitted with a built-in five-watt tube amplifier with an eight-inch speaker.
The Danelectro Convertible is a thinline hollowbody acoustic-electric with a single low-output lipstick tube pickup in the soundhole.
The guitar was built with affordability as a top priority and traded costly wood for a masonite body, which is typical of Danelectros from this period. The hollowbody construction allows the guitar to function as both an electric and an acoustic guitar, hence the "convertible" name—and a two-for-one deal. Gibson partnered with pickup and guitar designer Bill Lawrence to create the Gibson Marauder.
With a Les Paul-shaped body and a Flying V series headstock, the design riffs on Gibson's signature aesthetics. Paul Stanley from Kiss also kept a few around—just to smash them on stage.
The Ovation Breadwinner is unlike any guitar on this list. Made by acoustic guitar makers, the Breadwinner was the company's attempt to break into the electric guitar market.
The body shape is designed to resemble an axe, and its ergonomic design allows for easy access to the upper frets. This double-cutaway guitar was made in Japan at the Matsumoku factory from to While most Epiphones had humbucker pickups, the ET has two single-coil pickups and a Strat-like body shape.
The guitar is also famous for being played by Kurt Cobain, who had a thing for cheap guitars. The Kapa Continental —as well as it's precursor, the Kapa Challenger —is a stylish offset guitar from the '60s that has flown under the radar. The continental has a master volume and two tone knobs, as well as two pickup-selector switches. It's important to note: Our list is not exhaustive, and you can find more affordable vintage guitars.

A vintage guitar is an older guitar usually sought after and maintained by avid collectors or musicians. The term may indicate either that an instrument is merely old, or that is sought after for its tonal quality, cosmetic appearance, or historical significance. As early as the s, musicians and collectors began to recognize the value of older instruments. The rising mass production of both acoustic and electric guitars in that era served to highlight the quality workmanship and materials of the older instruments. Historians, such as George Gruhn , helped to codify both the monetary value and sound quality of these guitars for both collectors and musicians. Examples of well-known vintage electric guitars are s and s era Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster and Gibson Les Paul. Older electric guitars in general have become desirable, including "budget brands" such as Harmony , Danelectro , and Kay.
