1) The 1936-?39 Martin D-45 ($320,000 to $400,000) Vintage Martin dreadnoughts are considered the pinnacle of steel-string acoustics, and those given the Style 45 details are the top of the line.
2) The 1958-?60 Gibson Les Paul Standard ($300,000 to $375,000) The status of Gibson?s Les Paul changed dramatically with the 1966 release of John Mayall?s Blues Breakers featuring Eric Clapton. Then Michael Bloomfield started playing one, which influenced other top-tier guitarists of the late ?60s.
3) The 1958-?59 Gibson Explorer ($250,000 to $310,000) Part of an attempt to market ?modernistic? guitars in the ?space age,? it got little attention from buyers, so production numbers stayed very low.
4) The 1958-?59 Gibson Flying V ($200,000 to $250,000) Another of Gibson?s ?modernistic? guitars, it was offered for only two years .
5) The 1931-?36 Martin D-28 ($140,000 to $170,000) Though not as fancy as the D-45, its $100 price tag was still high in the midst of the Great Depression.
6) The 1938-?42 Gibson Super Jumbo/SJ-200 ($90,000 to $120,000) Gibson?s answer to Martin?s D, it was larger, showier, and wound up in the hands of many a big-screen singing cowboy.
7) The ?57 Gibson Les Paul model ($86,000 to $106,000) Gibson?s original Les Paul, the ?goldtop? was refined until it peaked in ?57, when it was used to launch the company?s new ?humbucking? pickups.
D?Aquisto archtops ($75,000 to $100,000) Luthier James D?Aquisto mostly built to order, and his rarest models bring a premium.
9) 1950 Fender Broadcaster ($68,000 to $86,000) Leo Fender?s original single-cutaway design has a simple, workingman?s appeal. Known today as the Telecaster, it?s one of the ?big three? collectible electrics.
10) 1957-?60 Gibson Les Paul Custom ($66,000 to $81,000) With a black finish and gold-colored hardware, it was the fanciest version of the original Les Paul guitar.?
