I'm thinking of selling my tribute, bought from Guitar Showcase in early 2004 for $5,000. It is in excellent shape, has a small indentation on the back of the neck from a fall, but otherwise is pristine. Has LED's on the top of the neck. It would come with the original case and a nice firm and light semi-soft case. What do people think this guitar should sell for? Thanks! | ||

I bought one made in 2001 with a brass back-plate without led's for $4000 a few weeks ago. I saw one go on ebay a couple of days ago here go for $6600. It had wood backplates and leds. Mine for $4k doesn't look like anyone ever played it. There is not the slightest hint of fretwear on any of the frets. I think I got a pretty good price. I probably wouldn't have bought it if I hadn't been able to play it though. The guy wanted to do a local deal and wanted cash. After I played it, I decided I really needed it. With leds you should get more than I paid. If you have wood back plates as well you may be able to get close to what the $6600 one went for on ebay depending on the damage to the back of the neck. I don't have any hints on how to get the most for it. Patience may be key. It may take a while for someone with money to want what you have. Todd. | ||

Dave can you post some pix? Please do a close up of the damaged area. I might be interested. I will also talk to my nephew. The Tributes are beautiful. I would also like to add a new member to the family. Carl | ||

I was bidding on the one on ebay last week. It looked like a particularly nice model. Pics would help barry | ||

I apologize, I got distracted by family issues and have just now checked back. Thanks to everyone for their replies. I will try and get decent pics of it up. I really do want to slim down my collection and get the cash, too, but am always interested in seeing/hearing what people have in mind for trade. I don't think I'll keep it, it just comes to when I get the time to put pictures up, list it at Craigslist (prefer to do a local transaction), etc... Thanks all! |
