Memphs1978 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 i would think if you could pick it up for a coupla hundred bucks... i would not really be worried about what its worth if you like it you should get it ... btw we are going to need pics lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxst1281733995 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Going rate for a used Sheraton (pre-owned, that is... Not stamped "used") is around $400-$450.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Flick Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 Going rate for a used Sheraton (pre-owned' date=' that is... Not stamped "used") is around $400-$450.. [/quote'] White ones are at a premium, they tend to go a little higher. $450 would be a really good deal, $500 is not unreasonable with case in very good condition. Plus you have Gibby '57 classics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxst1281733995 Posted February 10, 2008 Share Posted February 10, 2008 You're right.. I forgot to take into account that it's a white one.. I wouldn't pay more than $500, though.. But that's just me.. I'm a bargain hound... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just me.. I'm a bargain hound... [/quote'] I agree, $500 +/- might be the going rate, but if you're patient you can do better. I think I'd go 5 for this one since it has Gibby '57 classics, they're worth a couple of bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vic Flick Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 You're right.. I forgot to take into account that it's a white one.. I just remembered' date=' there was a really nice young woman on the old forum who had a white Sherry. She was from California, I can't remember her handle. I hope she makes it to the new forum.

wwpete521281734008 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Gibson '57s are a nice upgrade and it's good that it has a case. I hope you get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainbowgirl22 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 hey it's nice to be remembered. :0 hey all! how's everyone been? these new forums are great. nice to be able to log in again and to the poster.. white sherrys are beautiful guitars. i have one myself. im still thinking of adding another to my collection. they are obviously rare but worth the hunt. i see them on ebay all the time. im currently modifying my sherry. i bought som gfs liverpools pickups, i took off the pickguard, and swapped out the knobs for the ones on my lp custom. i thought the black on white would really make the finish pop.

TWANG Posted February 16, 2008 Share Posted February 16, 2008 okay' date=' its a 1997 samick, is that a good year??[/quote'] Mine is 13 years old. I've swapped the pups.. matter of taste. I did a very light level crown and polish on it, finally!, and still have enough frets to do again in five or six more years.. the only thing I hate about sheris is the electronics changing hassle. but I don't think I'd own one if it had a plastic control plate either. so.. I'll just shup about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
