A Little History About the Appraiser
Rod Highsmith traded a red Gibson ES 335 to the lead guitar player of the Allman Joys for his #1, 1964 Fender Strat, and started his first guitar collection the next year. Rod exhibited this collection for the first time at the 1988 Orlando International Guitar Show, and he has been a part of the Orlando show ever since. By selling high end guitars to every major collector in America during the last 20 years, Rod has established a reputation for both fair trading, and representing guitars with “no excuses”. In 2002 he was selected to appraise the entire vintage collection of Mars Music, and prepare it for sale as part of their bankruptcy proceedings. Rod ended up representing both museums and private collectors here and in Canada, and was able to place historically important pieces in the hands of an appreciative audience. With a massive library, thousands of digital files, personal access to the other “experts” of the vintage guitar world, and hands on learning over the last 45 years, Rod Highsmith can professionally appraise your personal guitar, or a complete collection.
