j45nick Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Sweet guitar! He really whomps it good with a flatpick, don't he? Surprisingly well-balanced sound. Wonder how this compares to a Gibby NL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danner Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 NIcely spec'd and very sweet sounding. Gotta be at least $3k, yes? Oh SNAP! Just searched, it's $8500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

57classic Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Beautiful guitar. That baby has mud flaps on her big bottom. Good thing they used maple and not rosewood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenumber2 Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Holy sh*t! Well, I can forget that one. Yeah, no kidding. I'm pretty sure all these Music Villa customs are at least north of 5k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EuroAussie Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 That guitar sounded more like a Gibson than a Martin to be honest. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onewilyfool Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Why on earth would that guitar be worth $8500???? It's pretty standard Martin...no Brazilian, nothing exotic???? I just don't get it!!! I'm with Danner, I would have guessed $3k.That's one of those guitars, that in the future, if you wanted to re-sell it, you would take a HUGE bath!

onewilyfool Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Watching our local Craig's list, I find that "Custom" models get REALLY discounted, and stay on the list for a much longer time than the standard models....like D-18, D-28. Also models like "GPC12PA4", you know, long name models, tend to stay on there a LONG time, who the hell knows what that means?? Again D-18, D-28...they are known quantities. At this price, I would get John Greven to make me one, probably less money, maybe even a better guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this price, I would get John Greven to make me one, probably less money, maybe even a better guitar. The market for an 8K guitar is actually very small. There's just not a huge section of the guitar market spending that kind of money and even second hand prices we're still talking more than your average 'premium' guitar when new. Again the market is very small and will most likely require a leap of faith by the buyer unless they're very lucky and the seller is within travelling distance, again this makes a very small market even smaller... the end result is you take a real kicking on selling price. You might reasonably argue that these type of guitars are a total false economy for the GAS merchant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ParlourMan Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Well Nick, they say you should walk a mile in another man's shoes... and you should, cos you'll be a mile away and he'll have no shoes on. Looks like a win-win if you ask me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
