manny Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 ES125 TD kijiji ad I have been researching these guitars for about a month now. I almost bought a 66 CD model, but neck was wonky. The $4000 price tag seems high to me for the one in the ad above. Is it a good price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Versatile Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Looks expensive... :blink: Nice guitar though... They may not be able to sell at that price... So suggest making an offer And wait to see what happens.... <_< V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Although this particular variation (thin, non-cut, double pickup) of the ES125 model is relatively rare (only about 1200 made over 7 years; none currently for sale on gbase or ebay), it's still a budget model. The price is way too high. It's probably worth about half of that, at best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The price is way too high. It's probably worth about half of that, at best. I was thinking in around $2500 to $3000, I was thinking vintage or not, it is still a low end model. Does the term "low end model" even apply to vintage guitars? I read an article about ES125 increasing 15% in value a year. I know I have been trying to sell some things to fund a 1966 ES125CD , I even had my 2011 Gibby TBird bass for $850 for 3 days with no replies. I think people are broke right now and milk and bread are more important than rock and roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted May 8, 2015 Share Posted May 8, 2015 I was thinking in around $2500 to $3000, That's probably still a bit high, for a non-cut variation. As I said, I couldn't find any 125TD's on ebay or gbase to compare to, but if you look at prices of other 125 variations, this guitar probably belongs somewhere closer to $2000, in my opinion (assuming it's in excellent condition and ready to go). I was thinking vintage or not, it is still a low end model. Does the term "low end model" even apply to vintage guitars? It does, in fact it's better than the term I used ("budget model"). Some people also use "student model", but "low end" is perhaps the best term to use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
