GuitarGeordie Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I have a Gibson Memphis 2016 B.B. King Lucille Ebony ARLC16EBGH1 (2016). Long term plans change and this is how it is. I would like to sell my checked and tuned once, beautiful Lucille but at a fair price and that is were I would like the Forum's help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Selling a Lucille is a mistake. I know, I did it twice and was lucky enough to buy the second one back. Lecture aside, yours has the Richlite fret board and Gibson sets their prices according to a Ouija board at times. The Big Rock Stars all played 335s so that's what people want even though the Lucille is a better guitar. I figure 50-60% of retail when I'm guitar shopping but I'm also pretty frugal at times. I'm in the US so perhaps the Gibsons are more plentiful. I'd check eBay's recent Sold Prices to get a better idea. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tyler A Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 They have floor models at CME, which are usually new in box for 2500, so I would base my price on this at least until they are sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted October 3, 2017 Share Posted October 3, 2017 Don't do it at all. Guitar goes, money goes and there you sit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaicho8888 Posted October 4, 2017 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Sorry you have to let go of Lucille! Lucille (ES-355) has lots of blings on it and the tri-maple neck is so stable. I noticed it's now $7k here in the US. You might find comparable pricing on Ebay UK or even Reverb.com. This should give you what buyers are willing to pay. Advertize at 65% of current retail pricing in your area. An older model 2010 is asking for $2400 in my area...Good luck!

kaicho8888 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I have one and I am never selling it. Why sell such a killer axe? FZ Fan, what does the model "ARLC" a mnemonic for? On mine, it's written in pencil in the bridge cavity. Thnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarGeordie Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 For the wiser although probably younger, thank you "Lucille" is staying home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
