Default any help with a Vintage Acoustic Reference Guide

Anyone know of a vintage Guitar Encyclopedia or something of the sort. I am buying some vintage stuff as of late and it would be nice to have a reference. for instance if I am buying a Epiphone El dorado something that distiguishes the difference between the years. Like 1964 had a different pick guard and tuners on a 67 were a certain type etc etc. Just an example...

I guess what I am asking is there an online reference or encyclopedia out there for vintage Acoustics, martins, Gibsons, Epiphones etc etc. that breaks down the year differences etc etc. Other than posting here? LOL.

thanks in advance.

Gruhn's Guide to Vintage Guitars is pretty much the vintage guitar bible...
