Ragnarök Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Hello Trying to get this appraised and then would like to possibly sell it. Buddy said I should contact gibson service so I'll go ahead and do that. Was just looking at opinions as well from you guys. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 Very nice too - exactly like the one I used to have....my 1st Gibson! Lucky you have the original Bill Lawrence pups in it. I bought mine in the late 80s for £200(GBP - I'm in UK) and sold some yrs later for £300. Now a very similar one is on ebay UK for £1285 which is too high - seller probably won't get that much as pups have been changed. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-Gibson-L6s-Deluxe-Model-1978-Wine-red-/122532408937?hash=item1c87802e69:g:lawAAOSwB-1YtLik Plus there are some wrecks on ebay USA much cheaper, and a black one for about £585 (US$756). About £750 ($970) for yours I'd say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ragnarök Posted June 8, 2017 Author Share Posted June 8, 2017 Wow thats more than I expected! I dislike going through ebay though because I have had issues with selling on there recently. People abuse the buyer protection policy and I rather not get enough with that again. Especially for that amount of money. Do you suggest pawn shops or guitar stores ? PS: I also have the purple velvet hardshell too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted June 8, 2017 Share Posted June 8, 2017 I am in the UK so can't really advise you very well, as we don't have pawn shops over here really! The thing with selling to either a pawn shop or a guitar shop is they will give you a much lower price than a private sale. However some guitar shops will sell it for you (think this is called 'consignment'?) and take a cut. And I bet they'd tell you a lower estimated price. The reason I said that price is that it looks all original, unmodded...and it turns out you have the case too. I'd make you an offer if I was in the USA. I can't afford it, don't need it but as I had one before..... Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
