onewilyfool Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hey, there is a local used Robert Johnson in great shape, wondering what a good used price is? I think I've seen them go for $1300 or so on this forum....would appreciate any advice and info...thanks....wily Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarstrummer Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Since the list on them is $3171, I would think most of the used ones would be going for around $1600. You might find someone trying to move one in a hurry for less, but I think those are going to be few and far between. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rambler Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Dealer Ebay sales hang around 18; latest used add here is 1300. Strummer splits the middle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank over at Republic has responded to my emails so I would assume he also replied to yours. I think I may drop the hammer on one of these little Reso-parlors. So far Frank has be responsive and flexible with my requests. I am considering theSteel Body Polished Nickel Lightly Sandblasted Resolian Parlor with the star and moon cover and a pick up installed. Anyone had any experience with any of the Republic Resonator Guitars? I would love to hear the good and the bad before I call him with my credit card info!

Johnt Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 John T....I would LOVE for you to talk me out of it....lol.....but would I listen. Those are nice guitars....tempting....Please help....lol No way mate! As you say you won't listen anymore than I would! I had my heart set on a J300 but now I think it has to be an RJ. My problem is that I really should have bought that natural one that was on the forum a month or so ago but I just didn't have the cash! So my strategy is a) the watch your buying process and suitably drool over the pics which you will eventually post b)Order one (natural) from Music Villa in Bozeman to be collected at next year's homecoming. Maybe I can get Ren or one of the other legends from Gibson to "present it" to me. That way it might look as if I'd earnt it! LOL Best of luck with your search!
