From closet-find pre-war Martin acoustics to holy-grail vintage Gibson electrics, few things on Antiques Roadshow match the thrill of an unassuming owner discovering their family heirloom is worth a small fortune. This compilation brings together some of the most memorable vintage fretted-instrument appraisals in the show's history.

Whether you're a vintage guitar player, an instrument collector, or just love the pure disbelief on an owner's face when six figures enter the conversation, these are the appraisals that every gearhead remembers.
