onewilyfool Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Hey, there is a local used Robert Johnson in great shape, wondering what a good used price is? I think I've seen them go for $1300 or so on this forum....would appreciate any advice and info...thanks....wily
guitarstrummer Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Since the list on them is $3171, I would think most of the used ones would be going for around $1600. You might find someone trying to move one in a hurry for less, but I think those are going to be few and far between.
Rambler Posted August 15, 2008 Posted August 15, 2008 Dealer Ebay sales hang around 18; latest used add here is 1300. Strummer splits the middle!
nodehopper Posted August 16, 2008 Posted August 16, 2008 onewily........ Now a Robert Johnson Sig ???? You are just incorrigible !!!!

Frank over at Republic has responded to my emails so I would assume he also replied to yours. I think I may drop the hammer on one of these little Reso-parlors. So far Frank has be responsive and flexible with my requests. I am considering theSteel Body Polished Nickel Lightly Sandblasted Resolian Parlor with the star and moon cover and a pick up installed. Anyone had any experience with any of the Republic Resonator Guitars? I would love to hear the good and the bad before I call him with my credit card info! Stephen

Johnt Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 John T....I would LOVE for you to talk me out of it....lol.....but would I listen. Those are nice guitars....tempting....Please help....lol No way mate! As you say you won't listen anymore than I would! I had my heart set on a J300 but now I think it has to be an RJ. My problem is that I really should have bought that natural one that was on the forum a month or so ago but I just didn't have the cash! So my strategy is a) the watch your buying process and suitably drool over the pics which you will eventually post b)Order one (natural) from Music Villa in Bozeman to be collected at next year's homecoming. Maybe I can get Ren or one of the other legends from Gibson to "present it" to me. That way it might look as if I'd earnt it! LOL Best of luck with your search! John
onewilyfool Posted August 19, 2008 Author Posted August 19, 2008 I think these Robert Johnsons are about $1750 brand new......last time I checked at the online stores.....so used for $1400 should be a good price???? So many guitars......so little time....lol

jefleppard Posted August 19, 2008 Posted August 19, 2008 maybe, just maybe one of you guys will win one at homecoming!
Johnt Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 maybe' date=' just maybe one of you guys will win one at homecoming![/quote'] Apart from my wife, the last thin I won was a goldfish on a stall at a fair where if you threw a ping pong ball into a jar then they gave you a fish. The little bas**** died the next day!
onewilyfool Posted August 20, 2008 Author Posted August 20, 2008 johnt...you didn't WIN your wife....only her HEART....lol.....keep playing them guits!!
Johnt Posted August 20, 2008 Posted August 20, 2008 johnt...you didn't WIN your wife....only her HEART....lol.....keep playing them guits!! Shame on you wily that was nearly "Politically correct" and that would be a terrible terrible thing for a forum member! Bought the RJ yet? you posted up 6 days ago it must be sitting in your house by now?
onewilyfool Posted August 21, 2008 Author Posted August 21, 2008 John T......I have recently sold a Goodall GC, which was an Amazing guitar, just not the guitar for my style of playing. I am sitting on the funds (and you KNOW it is burning a hole in my pocket...lol) I am considering that RJ, and also a ES 335, so I am in a quandry.....lol......BUT I am trying to be patient, and make the right choice.....God knows I dont' want to have too many guitars.......but thanks for the moral support....whatever I get, I will post pics.....thanks again for all the help...wily
