You did well considering even in Canadian dollars $1500 US would be $1900 today. However that was 2 years ago so I would hazard a guess that you might have paid slightly more now considering inflation and COVID making it harder to get goods when we want them. Nevertheless you did well and I hope...
Well this story ends here. Bought the 2013 SG Original with Lyre tailpiece in heritage cherry for $2,400 cash (no tax) plus threw in after much back and forth…an $80 Pearl Snare Stand I needed, and a set of strings and 2 fender pics ha ha. Previous owner was a collector so it was virtually...
Thanks Decadent Dan. He did say if it didn’t sell he would let me have it at my offer but I am not an optimist. If I do get another crack I will let you know. Maybe look at the 2013 SG Original with Lyre tail piece again for $2,399. If I pay cash I know the owner well enough that he will not...
He is not selling to me. Going after the lucrative USA market as his friend feels he will get more than $4,500 Canadian. Serial # 004357 white painted pickup covers and poker chip. Please let me know if you see it on Reverb. Offered $3,500 but he wants more. His friend will get 10% for selling...
Yeah the guy was too tight to drop $100 on an appraisal so he weasled a ROUGH estimate from a picture. He did forward the guys email telling him $4,500. If he wants more than my offer I will demand he spring for a proper appraisal in writing. I did have the guitar for a couple years and he has...
Well for those of you that asked I follow up about the 1967 Special SG…the guy emailed a music store and by picture alone they estimated the guitar to be worth around $4,500 Canadian…that’s $3,520 USA for my American friends. That is provided he put back original heads and remove the white paint...
Point taken about the currency. Here in Canada when I go to Reverb I can toggle from USA dollars to Canadian.
And your point about trying it for neck preference is also sound advice. Personally I have been fortunate enough to own 9 or so guitars with a variety of neck carves and like you I am...
Even though I had the 67 years ago for quite awhile I don’t recall much. The 2013 at my local music store I just saw today and everything is closed. I have to wait on an asking price on the 67. If it’s crazy high I will pass but at least for now I am hoping it’s under 3 grand Canadian...
No I don’t need a Vibrola. I am just on the rebound from waiting for a pice on a 1967 Special. The guy is supposed to get it appraised at Twelfth Fret in Toronto Canada and this COVID is putting a damper on it. After I told him I was looking at this one the 2013 suddenly he is going to move a...
The Gibson 2013 SG Original Electric Guitar celebrates over 50 years of an iconic instrument. This sleek guitar has an all mahogany body with a deeper scarf for playing comfort. The neck sports the SG slim profile with a bound rosewood fingerboard and trapezoid inlays. Dual 57 classic pickups...
