Roy Rogers Guitar

Below are Roy Rogers guitars and related items for sale on eBay. Roy Rogers was a singer and actor who made a series of highly popular "singing cowboy" movies from the late 1930s to the early 1950s. You could always count on a Roy Rogers movie to have plenty of Western action and lots of great Western music, too. Even though we never saw Roy carrying a guitar around on his famous palomino stallion Trigger, he somehow always had one handy when he wanted to sing a song. Roy Rogers guitars became wildly popular with children and adults several generations ago, and still enjoy a strong popularity today. When looking at the guitars below keep in mind that they might be a toy guitar or a "real" guitar intended to be used as a musical instrument. Also keep in mind that while many of the Roy Rogers guitars below may have been made several decades ago some of them may be much newer.

Note: Most of the items below are related to the Roy Rogers (1911 - 1998) that is the famous singer and actor known for a series of hit "singing cowboy" movies. Some items, however, are connected to a well-known slide guitarist who also has the name Roy Rogers (1950 - present).

Things To Think About When Shopping For A Roy Rogers Guitar

• Is the guitar several decades old, or is it much newer?
• Is the guitar a toy, or a "real" guitar intended to be used as a musical instrument?
• Is it new or used?
• What condition is the guitar in? Do you care if it's playable? If it is a used guitar, particularly if it's also a toy guitar, it's reasonable to expect it may not be in perfect condition. The seller should describe any defects (scuffs, scratches, marks, loose or missing pieces, etc.) and show them in pictures if possible.
• Are there enough good photos of the guitar that you feel like you can get a good look at it? Keep in mind that a seller will probably (and understandably) take fewer pictures of a toy guitar than of a "real" guitar intended to be used as a musical instrument. Regardless of the type of guitar, though, there should be enough photos that you can get a good look at it. If you would like additional photos of the guitar ask the seller for more photos BEFORE you bid or buy.
• How big is the guitar? If the Roy Rogers guitar is a toy the seller may give general length and width measurements, or they may let you draw a general idea of its size by looking at photographs. If the guitar a "real" guitar, though, you will probably want more detailed measurements (scale length, fingerboard width, etc.).
• If the guitar is a musical instrument (not a toy), how complete is the description? While the description of a toy guitar may be fairly brief, a guitar that is a musical instrument should have a much longer, more detailed description. For guitars that are musical instruments you may want to know such things as make and model, type (acoustic, etc.), body size, construction material (top, back, and sides), bridge material and style, and more. If the seller leaves out anything you want to know, contact them with your questions BEFORE you bid or buy.
• Does the guitar come with a case? If so, is it the original case or a different one? Does it matter? Keep in mind that not all Roy Rogers guitars originally came with cases, so if the guitar you're interested in doesn't have one it doesn't necessarily mean the case was lost, it could mean there never was one.
• Does the guitar come with a box?
• What forms of payment does the seller accept?
• Can the guitar be returned?
• 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.
• What will the shipping costs be? Is shipping insurance offered? If so, at what cost? Will the seller ship to your location? How soon after you pay for your item will it be shipped?
• If you have any questions about a Roy Rogers guitar for sale on eBay, ask the seller your questions BEFORE you bid or buy.
