hello. im curious about this issue. i have been looking at westerly f-50s and jf30s since early december seriously trying to buy a guitar. On here i have seen several references to these guitars being somewhere in the 1500.00 range. which is what i was expecting to pay. However on ebay and gear base the ones listed seem to average anywhere from mid 2k-3k range. I have also noticed these dealers have had these guitars for at least the almost 60 days i have been looking. I prefer an earlier westerly guitar (pre fender). Wear is ok however any structural damage i.e. repaired cracks extra strap holes etc i am excluding. A guitar with play wear is great with me i dont want a museum piece. I am wondering if there is either a shift in the market of these guitars or have these dealers simply paid too much. The people with them for sale seem to be considerably higher than what the perceived market is of people who own them and play them. About 35-40% higher. Thoughts?
