Thunderbird up for grabs

[bieke]

hard times

I am forced to sell off some gear, and I'd hate to see it go, but I just put my 1963 (or 1964) S-200 Thunderbird up for sale
How much should I ask for it ?

so it's been having a bit of a rough life so far, I'm the second (maybe third) owner
first owner got it at age 14 and played it all through the 70's
it has a not so nice refinish, a not so nice neck repair job, and it has a Crash-o-Matic stand of an S-100 (my bad), which is a bit too short
serial nr. is gone
wiring, electronics, pots, etc. all original, kill switch has been replaced with a NOS original Guild switch
I put 6 guitars up for sale actually, and I hope those sell fast enough so I can keep it

Bieke,

I'd guesstimate about half of what top dollar is. Check the finished ebay auctions. One sold recently for about $3k-$4k.

phew, it looks like I'm going to hang on to it.
i put it up for sale, hoping it would fetch 1500$ or so
got a few offers to trade it (the usual 70's Strat or 80's LP), not interested in those
only cash offer I got was 250$
:roll:

I did sell 4 other guitars, and still have one up for sale
