There are certain woods, such as Brazilian rosewood, that are no longer used to craft guitars because they are endangered or exceedingly rare. If your guitar is made of such a wood, or contains other rare materials, it is not only fairly old but may be extremely valuable. For example, if the guitar is heavy and the wood has a reddish hue and a tight grain, you may be looking at a Brazilian rosewood guitar, which could have a strong value. Older guitars included trim and detail in ivory or tortoiseshell, neither of which are used in present-day guitar manufacturing. Ebony also is a rare material to be on the lookout for. Most guitars are made out of common woods such as maple or poplar. If you suspect your guitar is made of a rare wood or contains rare materials, take it to an expert who can properly identify the material as authentic. If an old guitar has been played frequently by a musician (or several), there are doubtless various parts that have been replaced over the years. A guitar that has all its original parts will have greater value, especially if it's older. However, if an old guitar is considered "player quality," it can still fetch a good amount of money it just won't be worth as much as it would have been if everything was original. With some older guitars, finding one that's all original is so rare that even one that's been tinkered with somewhat over the years can still have a lot of value. While some guitars may look like works of art, a guitar is first and foremost a musical interest. A lot of a guitar's value depends on how it sounds when played. Even the oldest guitar should have a crisp, clean sound. If you aren't a guitarist, take the guitar to a place where guitarists frequent, such as an open mic night at a local cafe. Most guitarists are more than happy to check out a vintage guitar, especially one that you think might be worth some money. The better the guitar sounds, typically, the more it will be worth. There are some adjustments you can make, such as changing the strings, that will improve the guitar's sound without detracting from its value. The Blue Book is one of several respected pricing guides that can help you determine the general value of your guitar, depending on its overall condition and playability. You can find the Blue Book online and search it for free at bluebookofguitarvalues.com. Any value you find in the Blue Book or any of the other guides is merely a suggestion. Various characteristics of any individual guitar could cause its value to increase or decrease. For example, you may have a 50-year-old guitar in pristine condition that is still only worth a few thousand dollars. But the same guitar in worn condition could be worth millions if previously owned by a famous rock star. Various collectible and auction sites may have guitars similar to yours available. Compare your guitar to the ones for sale to get a better idea of the value of your guitar. Look primarily at age and condition. Some guitars get their value from another reason, such as having been owned or played by a famous musician. Avoid using these to determine the value of your guitar unless your guitar happens to have a similar pedigree. Especially if your research has led you to believe that your guitar may be worth a significant amount of money, a professional appraisal is essential. Depending on the age of the guitar, its condition, and its rarity, you may want to get two or three appraisals. Some guitar makers also may offer a service where you can have a guitar certified as authentic. An appraisal is never a guarantee of how much you would actually get for your guitar if you decided to sell it. If you want to sell a vintage guitar, get several appraisals and talk to an experienced collector or dealer who can help you showcase the guitar for the best possible result.

This is W by default. Press and hold after double-tapping to keep sprinting forward. You will move 30% faster than usual, and your field of view will become slightly wider. Tap left control while moving forward to start sprinting. If this doesn't work, open the Esc menu and go to Options Controls to assign a key to sprint. Your character will continue to sprint until you release the forward key, collide with a block, or interact with a mob. If you tapped the sprint key, you will stop sprinting after thirty seconds, but can turn it on again right away. You can turn left and right as usual while sprinting, though this slows you down slightly. While sprinting, you can jump four blocks horizontally instead of two. Your jump height does not increase. You can only sprint while you have at least six hunger (three food symbols in your hunger bar). Eat some food and try again if your stomach is empty. Sprinting uses up your saturation and hunger 10 times faster than walking. Jumping while sprinting uses them up 80 times faster than walking. You can hit the sprint key while swimming as well, or while flying in Creative mode. This will only increase your speed a little bit, but your field of vision will widen. If you are on a vehicle or mount, your field of vision will widen but your speed will remain the same. If you don't use the sprint key, instead start sprinting on the ground, then double tap space to start flying.
