javtejada Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 Hey guys¡ Just wondering if you could help me out. I found a CS 335 Alvin Lee for something around 5500 usd and when looking at it in detail I've come to realise that its missing a couple of decals (the skull and the gray background dove on guitar). I looked at some pictures on the internet and I couldn't find another one with those 2 decals missing, so, I have a couple of questions: Is this the real deal? Whats up with the missing decals.? and, if it is the real deal, is 5500 a good price? Thanks in advance for your help, any comments are welcome. Cheers¡ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JO'C Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I think you need to be very careful with this. I tried to buy one at an auction in 2011 and I kept the .pdf of the auction catalog. You are correct about the missing stickers. The one at the auction at least was from a limited run of 50 and the S/N is AL 043. If it was one of the 50 a price of $5500 seems fair considering that Alvin has passed on. The one at the auction sold for about $4000 but that was before Alvin's death. It also has a red neck and back of headstock. I would be suspicious about the one you are considering. Is there a COA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javtejada Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 Thanks JO¡ I already said no, too much risk and not enough communication with the seller. Take care¡ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
