Danner Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Just got wind of a 1 year old SWD in mint condition for $1500. Please convince me to resist buying it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

albertjohn Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Sounds like a fair price for a great guitar. Play before you pay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danner Posted August 30, 2010 Author Share Posted August 30, 2010 You guys are a big help ;-) Here's a link, I might give the guy a call. SWD Ad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Seriously . . . at that price and only a year old, I think it's definitely worth taking a look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danner Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Well, I just shot him an e-mail, so, it's like cocking the hammer. Must resist pulling the trigger ;-) OTOH, a mahogany TVSJ and a rosewood SWD with LR Baggs set-up would be a pretty versatile combination of Gibsons.

Let us know what you decide. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danner Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 I talked to the seller. He doesn't know where is wife bought it last year. And he tells me he has the guitar set-up every time he changes strings, including the bridge, the truss rod, and lubricating the frets. I asked him who did all that, and he couldn't remember the name of the shop. He says he is very experienced player, but prefers his HD-28 and a few of the J-45's to this guitar. You know, it's like, well WTF?!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nor does he know who changes his strings. :blink: He must be really famous or it's nicked. He sounds like a real winner. I would stay away from that one regardless of price.

onewilyfool Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Local craigslist prices for this I see at $1200......for what it's worth...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
albertjohn Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 One point about SWDs is that they are a long way from having cult status compared to say a J45 or SJ200 etc. Consequently, second hand prices are likely to be good, (from a buyer's perspective) especially in today's market. If it were me, I would leave this one as I don't like the smell. That's not to say it is not genuine of course. Have a good hunt around and you'll find one that's clean with no baggage. It will be time well spent IMHO. Re Wily's last post - if you can pick up a good used one for around $1,200+, that's fantastic value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
