bluzhammer Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 If I do part with it, for how much? I got it in 78 and it's been a player, although it has sat idle for the past couple of years. she has had to be repaired ( the old headstock issue ), still sporting the original pickups and the low frets. I would appreciate any and all opinions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LarryUK Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Your decision. Can you live without it? Look on eBay for a similar one and watch it and see how much it goes for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damian Posted January 20, 2011 Share Posted January 20, 2011 Well, I no longer sell, smash, or lose guitars.......I collect them, so, my opinion is biased.......First, pics would be nice, so, post some pics...explain the damage more, and show pics of it...explain more why you want to sell such a nice guitar.............and yes, if you are giving it away, my gal and cats have told me that I have been very good this year..........so, um..............

Bowdiddley Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If you really need the money to have heart surgery or something simular, I'd say sure. If you didn't really need the money you'll always regret not having it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluzhammer Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 You guys are correct. I played it last night for the first time in a couple of years and it was like meeting an old friend. Tons of memories came back and I thought to myself...... " Self, WTH are you thinking? Sell this guitar and regret it for the rest of my days, I gots to be crazy." I really appreciate the replies and over the next few days, I'll clean her up real good and post up some pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freak show Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 If I owned a guitar for over 30 years, I would need a damn good reason to sell it. Like my dog was starving, and I couldn't get him food in any other way, or something like that. If you don't have a good reason -- a really good reason -- then don't sell it.

bluzhammer Posted January 21, 2011 Author Share Posted January 21, 2011 It was just a passing consideration and I was really at loss as to the actual value of it, and still am considering the repair done to it. The repair was done by a master luthier and builder. Once the GAS for the PRS Hollowbody II subsided, I realized the folly of my flawed thinking and had to hang my head in shame for even entertaining such a foolish notion.

davidl Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 I hope your guitar can forgive you for even considering it. Good choice not to sell. I would have to really, really need the money to part with any of my wooden friends. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That new guitar GAS is just like a hooker trying to get you to leave your wife!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
