Vintage guitar certificates of authenticity
The reputation of our certificates of authenticity for vintage guitars among private collectors, professional musicians and public or private institutions allows our customers to sell or buy with complete transparency and confidence.
Establishing the certificate of authenticity requires a rigorous examination of each instrument, from the main parts that compose it (body, neck, varnish, etc.) to the smallest element of the hardware or electronics.
Particularly for vintage American electric guitars, this work includes the complete disassembly of the instrument, the verification of the component parts, the taking of dimensions and measurements
All these elements are analyzed and compared with our large database made up of instruments previously appraised and validated as originals over several decades of activity.
The certificate of authenticity for a guitar is a guarantee in the event of resale since it authenticates and certifies the originality of the instrument, which naturally largely determines its market value. Moreover, its issuance is systematic in the world of quartet instruments – today, no violin or bow could be sold without its certificate of authenticity – and more broadly in the world of art.
For any request for certification, a quote will be established for you. We offer at-home appraisal services in mainland France and across borders to examine the instrument for which you require a certificate of authenticity.
Our finest guitars are always sold with their certificate of authenticity.
