pfox14 Posted April 13, 2012 Share Posted April 13, 2012 I'll be surprised if it goes for more than $500. They aren't really in demand and don't bring big $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fortyearspickn Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 Sounds like you're jonesing for a Gibson Classical. I had one I bought new as my first 'real' guitar in the 60s. I loved it, but of course there are better classicals mnade today. If you think this one is a good investment - go for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morkolo Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I didn't even know Gibson made classicals with the exception of the Chet Atkins model. Thanks for the share. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j45nick Posted April 15, 2012 Share Posted April 15, 2012 The C-series Gibson classicals are nothing special. I actually looked for one a couple of years ago when I was trying to maintain my "all Gibson" stable, but they simply weren't worth the money. They were typically going for around $500, and were in generally average condition. They have not aged particularly well, and sound more like a Gibson guitar with Spanish-style strings than a "real" classical guitar. Instead, I bought a Spanish-built Pavan TP-30. These are imported from Spain by Tom Prisloe as a lower-priced alternative to his own custom classicals, which sell for $5K+. The TP-30 has an ebony board, cedar top, solid IR body, and is generally an extraordinary value. I bought mine "used" (but effectively new ) on ebay for just under $1000 US. And I don't play classical guitar. I use it only for Brazilian-style music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
