corndog87 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 A WM-45 and $250 for my J-45. I am unfamiliar with the WM-45, so I'm not sure how to value this trade proposal. Thanks for any feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frenchie 63 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 The WM-45 is a stripped down version of the J-45. It has all solid woods (Sitka top & Mahogany B&S), the bracing is the same, but the bridge & fingerboard are made out of Morado wood (A type of Rosewood). The bindings are simplified too, and the early ones have satin finish B&S. One final detail, the WM-45 has a belly down bridge, like a Martin. Overall though a fine guitar, which sounds like a J-45, but on the cheap, and they initially sold for about half the price of a J-45. Hope this helps. Steve.

Rambler Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Re the deal itself, Id think $4-500 cash would be more in order, but I think you'd have to ask yourself why deal at all? Unhappy with your J-bo? Enamored of the WM? Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corndog87 Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks for the feedback guys, I was looking to downsize my gear collection, at least in terms of dollars invested. I'd prefer all cash, but this guy made me that offer on craigslist, so thanks. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StijnV Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 For the value nowadays I suggest you to check the following webpages: http://www.vintage-guitars.blogspot.com/ www.gruhn.com www.guitargallery.tv www.bluebookinc.com I have attached some info from our archive, and the specifications, taken from the Gruhns Guide to Vintage Guitars, by Walter Carter and George Gruhn.

Pickax Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 I had a mint WM-45 that I sold about a year ago for $1K. The offer you received is a low ball deal IMO. I agree with jkinnama on this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombywoof Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 If I revcall the WM-45 sold for about $1K less than a J-45. Like others have said, seems there should be more cash coming your way on the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
