The Gene Autry guitars listed below might be a standard sized guitar (in varying

these were made in different styles and sizes by varying manufacturers), a photo

Autry guitars were manufactured many years ago, some of the guitars may be very
recent models.
The Gene Autry Guitar
Gene Autry (Orvon Gene Autry, September 29, 1907 - October 2, 1998) rose to
American superstardom in the the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s with phenomenally
successful careers in singing, song writing, and acting. Known as one of the
entertainment industry's most popular singing cowboys and cowboy actors,
he shared his fame with his two most famous and constant companions: His horse
champion, and his guitar. When buying a Gene Autry guitar on eBay or anywhere
else, here are a few good things to know before you buy.
- How old is the guitar? While a few of the Gene Autry guitars for
sale on eBay have been manufactured recently, most of the guitars
were made many years ago, sometimes dating back to the early 1930's.
- What kind of a guitar is it? Is is a standard sized guitar, or
it a child's toy?
- Who manufactured the guitar?
- Does the Gene Autry guitar come with a box or guitar case? If
so, is the box or case the original one that came with the guitar,
or a different one?
- Since most of the Gene Autry guitars for sale on eBay were made
many years ago, it is reasonable to assume they may not be in
perfect condition. Does the seller describe the guitar's flaws or
blemishes in detail, and also show them in pictures?
- Speaking of pictures, how many pictures are there of the guitar?
Good sellers provide several clear, sharp pictures in good lighting
of the items they are selling. If a seller does not provide enough
pictures of good enough quality for you to get a good look at the
guitar, email them and ask them for addition photos before you bid
or buy. If the seller is unwilling (or claims they are unable) to
provide good photographs, approach purchasing a Gene Autry guitar or
any other item from that seller with extra caution.
- If the seller claims the guitar is an antique or a collectible,
do they provide any information to back up theses claims?
- If the seller claims that the guitar was signed by Gene Autry,
be sure you know exactly how they define the word "signed." In most
cases, a "signed" Gene Autry guitar does not mean the guitar was
personally signed by Mr. Autry. It usually means the guitar was
manufactured with the signature built in.
- Every eBay item for sale has a "Meet the seller" area. Be sure
to check this area to view the feedback rating that previous buyers
have left for that particular seller. There is also an area where a
potential buyer can read comments left by previous buyers.
- How much will the shipping be? Will the seller ship to your
location? Is shipping insurance required or optional? How soon will
the seller ship your guitar after it has been paid for?
- What forms of payment does the seller accept?
- How soon do you have to pay for your purchase? An increasing
number of eBay sellers are getting tired of buyers who take a long
time to pay for their item. Some of these sellers are now requiring
the item be paid for within a certain time frame or the sale is off.
Read the item's description for acceptable payment times and terms.
- If you have any questions about a Gene Autry guitar for sale on
eBay be sure to contact the seller and ask any questions before you
bid or buy.
