Answer 6

A gibson, from the 60's is worth lots of money. see where its made, and look up the model number and the year online and you'll find information on it if it is a real gibson. and if it is it will be worth thousands.

Answer 7

Depends on the make and if your dad's Paul McCartney!

Answer 8

E-bay  is the place to check out. Guitars from the 60s should get a fair price.

Answer 9

It depends, if it is in good condition, who it's previous player was ie; rock star or just a player. If it is in working condition but has been broke-in good it will be worth more to an artist . If you took it to a pond shop and asked , take the price they offer and multiple by 5 and you will get a close estimate.

Answer 10

No, it might be worth something.  It depends entirely on what brand and model it is and what kind of condition its in -- and FYI, just because "all the strings are working" doesn't mean its in great condition, LOL.  Great condition means there are no cracks or open seams or loose braces or other visible or hidden damage to the guitar; the neck is straight, the bridge isn't coming loose, the tuning machines work smoothly and the finish is clean and unblemished.

Some premium guitar brands will always be desirable and sought after by musicians -- Martin, Gibson, Guild, for example -- and older instruments in good condition can be as desirable or more so than a new guitar because they've had a chance to be played-in so they sound better than they did when they were new.  But a cheaply made no-name brand old guitar isn't any better than a cheaply made no-name new one, and if your Dad's guitar is one of those, it may in fact not be worth a whole lot.  

Without knowing anything about your Dad's guitar, putting a value on it is impossible.
