Gibson101 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I wanna say it's a figured top after checking some online photos. I'm just surprised how much those seem to be going for. Any thoughts on the value of this guitar? It's a 2005. Thank you. I know it's not an acoustic but I only visit this section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GotTheSilver Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 I'd say that's figured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 . It's figured. A new one at MF run s $3149 - http://www.musiciansfriend.com/guitars/gibson-custom-es-335-dot-figured-top-electric-guitar-with-gloss-finish A used recent model year, maybe $1800-$2500 depending on the condition. You'll probably want to post in the semi/hollow subforum - http://forum.gibson.com/index.php?/forum/11-hollow-and-semi-hollow-body-guitars/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gibson101 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 That's what I figured! HAHAHAHA sorry couldn't help it. The MF add is what threw me off, I was doing some insurance stuff today and realized I paid $1999 for this brand new in 06. I am surprised to see the jump in price. Thank you for all the input.

vincentw Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The figure sure is light though.... Not the best example of figure, but it's there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 The figure sure is light though.... Not the best example of figure, but it's there. Agree. It's a lot more subtle than most, and might easily have been sold as a "plain". In any case, it looks nice. If you paid $1900 for it, it's probably still worth just about that.

Gibson101 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks for the info, I was just curious. I'd like to see a plain top to do some comparison. Here it is in light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j45nick Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 Thanks Red, I guess lighting makes a difference. Seeing it that way makes it a lot clearer: figured, and very nice. +$200 to $300 on the value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
