Hi,

I need a complete list of every make and model of guitar.  I need both
electric and acoustic guitars.

The list needs to be formatted by make and model like this:

Gibson Les Paul
Fender Stratocaster
Martin Hummingbird

...And so on.

It might be unreasonable to expect a complete list, as guitars have
been in production for centuries!

There's a pretty decent list here:

Does that get you close to what you need?

No.  I need the actual list.  Let's say any guitar that's 80 years old or younger.

Are you familiar with collector's books, such as:


http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0879304227/103-2501704-6035005?v=glance
Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars : An Identification Guide for
American Fretted Instruments


Note that the same link also mentions:


The Official Vintage Guitar Price Guide - 2005 Edition (Official
Vintage Guitar Magazine Price Guide) by Alan Greenwood

Guitar Identification by Andre Duchossoir

Blue Book of Electric Guitars, Eighth Edition (Blue Book of Electric
Guitars) by Zachary R. Fjestad

The Official Vintage Guitar Magazine Price Guide, 2004 Edition
(Official Vintage Guitar Magazine Price Guide) by Alan Greenwood

Blue Book of Acoustic Guitars, Eighth Edition (Blue Book of Acoustic
Guitars) by Zachary R. Fjestad

Gibson Guitars 100 Years of an American Icon by Walter Carter



These might be your best source of comprehensive lists.  Let us know
if you've seen these already, and are looking for something beyond
what these books have to offer.

I have not seen those books.  However, if you wanted to paste data
into a list in this format:
Gibson Les Paul
Gibson SG
Fender Telecaster

...And so forth, that would be fine.

I'm still looking for an existing list that would work for you.  Take
a look at this one:

It's guitars plus some guitar accessories...but it's an awful lot of
guitars.  I count moe than 150 Fenders, for instance.


Let me know what you think.

that list is OK ...if you can just include the guitars and not the strings :-)

Actually, the way this site presents the info is great:
http://www.harmony-central.com/Guitar/Data4/

If you want to just cut/paste the models into category under each
manufacturer, that would be fine.

However, I *just* want the models ...not the text that comes after
them (you'll see what I mean on the site.)

Hello funweb-ga

As requested in your clarification above here is the list of guitars
on the Harmony Central website.  Each line beginning with a * is a
guitar model, if the line does not start with a * it is a guitar
manufacturer.

As the list is so long (over 14,000 entries) I have placed the list
online at the following location:

http://3o0.net/guitars.txt

I will leave this list online until I am requested to remove it by you
or after 30 days.

Please let me know if the data is not in the format you require and I
will do my best to amend it swiftly for you.

Perfect.  Could you get rid of the *'s for me?

Instead, just underline the manufacturer name.

Also - $10 tip if you'll get me a list of all the manufacturers in a seperate file.

I have altered the file as you requested and underlined the
manufacturers name.  I have also removed the initial * from each line.

The file containing only the manufacturers can be found here:
http://3o0.net/manufacturers.txt

Excellent.  just what I wanted.

Now what about custom guitar makers, of which I can think of a couple
straight away....   I think the hope for an exhaustive list is doomed.

perfect!  thanks!

Thank-you for the rating, kind comments and generous tip.  They are
all appreciated.  Should you require any more help please do not
hesitate to ask.
