Salfromchatham Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Hey guys. Some of you may know that I own a 2012 Gibson J-50 Modern Classic acoustic electric. They sell it at Fuller's as well as Sweetwater. Their advertised price new is $2,450 ish, although I bought mine for a little less. It has Baggs pup with a sound hole volume control. It has areal nice hard case. Mine is mint, save for a few pickguard scratches which should buff out. What' do you think a selling price for mine would be if I offered it for sale?

Motherofpearl Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Probably around 1500 I would think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rar Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Probably around 1500 I would think. This might be a little low: 50% of list for a J-45 would be around 1550 and J-50s are just a little more expensive. I'd have said something in the $1600 to $1700 range, but I haven't been tracking similar sales lately so I could be over optimistic. One potential negative of that price is that you'd be in pretty direct competition with a brand-new J-35 which sells for $1700 or less. Used prices in that range may be in freefall right nnow because of that model. -- Bob R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the differences are tuners, pickguard, bridge, x bracing vs advanced bracing, and neck shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danner Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 One-half of MSRP is in the "fair" range. ETA: How do you like that Apogee MIC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motherofpearl Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Bob I agree I'm just going off what I've seen. A used j45 is about 1600-1650 on eBay. Sal I've had a couple guitars for sale on the agf for a bit now. Seems like tire kickers. Knowone is buying or very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onewilyfool Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 A guy had one on CL for about 6 months at $1800....then I saw it at $1750...then I didn't see it, so....he either sold, or decided to keep it. He advertised it "as new". Here's another similar for $1500 http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/msg/3684791878.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
