thanks, birdy, for your help x

it looks nicer than the pictures. and sounds so warm and fullsome, and that's just stroking my fingers across its strings while it's still laying down in its case! it's just beggin' to be picked up and played. if i did (played guitar), i'd have to buy it. :)
 
Sounds like something I'd lust after, but my guitar skills mean I haven't earned it yet.
 
a coupla pics i took - only quickies, and none of the back - and these don't do it justice

thanks, skiddles - we were thinking about £150-£175

Im assuming a two for one exchange rate?? If so I'll take two plus shipping to the US.

three dollars? you cheapskate :eek:


we've nothing to try it out with - no amp/leads... we wanted some idea to see if we'd get the kind of money it should bring by putting it in the shop or if we'd get more selling to a shop that deals in guitars

A shop that deals in guitars would offer you roughly a third of what they would sell it for, the £200 was a price from a guitar dealer on line selling, so if you can borrow an amp to test it and it's good, you might do better retailing for the 150-175 you originally said. Also you can buy a cheap practice amp and lead from somewhere like Cash Converters for around £30 if then bundled with the guitar you could get a better return.

ha, we've only the one and without plugging it in i don't suppose we're gonna be able to tell if everything's working. i'd like to sell it to a proper shop, but want a ballpark idea so we don't get totally ripped off where they see we don't know much about it. :rolleyes:

yeah, couple of things that put a fly in that pretty ointment:

the charity would never fork out the money to buy an amp, even if we thought it'd help sell the guitar

there's a cash convertor's just down the street to our place - they're robbing bastards :D nor would they let us borrow an amp to test the guitar. *sigh*

and thirdly, i'm not sure our clientele would hand over that kind of money - it's a fairly cheap area. we might get £70 for a bundle of computer stuff like a wii, games, a bunch of other stuff thrown in...

maybe we would be able to sell it though. i'd like to think so.

This sounds scarily like where I live.
 
i used to know all kinds of neat ways to hook up a guitar to things when i didn't have an amp, but i sadly have forgotten most of them. i do remember that most of them involved cutting wires and using silly adapters, so there's that as well. i would suggest that if you know of a guitar shop that isn't run by assholes (good luck with that) you could maybe con your way into at least testing it out on one of their amps. might require some lying, but fuck it. at least you'll know if the electric bits work or not.
 
I wouldn't worry about it. The wood is the important part.

The gear is pretty available, and not that expensive.

I was in a sheet music store...old one from before AC with the high ceilings for ventilation. About 25 feet up there on the wall was a row of 5 beater guitars...

One looked like an Ibanez. In that 1960's made for black and white tv, creme color.

It was. It's missing it's back plate and the tremolo bar. I haven't gotten around to fabricating either.

It plays great...I didnt care if it did for $75.

hmmm... i suppose i could take it into CC and say i'm thinking about selling it... they go upstairs and test it (though i don't trust the buggers as far as i can see them, quite frankly) and then i refuse their offer once they say if it's working... trouble is, not trusting them, they might scratch it or not test the right stuff :(
