OK - so I'm looking at a emperador 12 str acoustic (no label inside) and really can't find much info about them - I'm guessing this thing is 60-70's and it's mint cond - at the local pawn shop - I play all gtrs elec/acoustic, bass, elec and 12 string. Just interested on history if anyone can help out - I'm off to buy it now $AUD 170 - think that can be negotiated tho and have the feeling they don't know what they really have there. Thanks Alison

Has anyone heard of this guitar?????

Hi there, I was hoping to get some info from this database concerning my electric takeharu guitar but it seems that all you folk that own Takeharu's all want the same.
I bought the guitar about 25-30 years ago in Norwich.My guitar is solid bodied with two humbucker pick-ups and the Takeharu name in mother of pearl on the head stock.
I love my guitar but would really like to know something about it. Roy.

I have a 1972 F 210 12 string El Degas like new . How much would it sell for ?

: : Does any one now a guitar called d Orso?
: : It's an old smal body accoustic guitar.
: : It's at least 70 years old probably a 100

My mother just aquired a guitar from my Grandmothers estate, It was her mothers.
There is a decal with wolverine on the headstock, the origin is probably Mi. as all my relatives are from that area, Ann Arbor & Detriot. It appears to be parlour size & constructed with sitka spruce top, brazilian rosewood back & sides, Ebony neck w classical style tuning pegs.
(I have nylons on it ) It also has fancy inlays instead of dots, so I suspect it's worth a lot more than the $60.00 she bouught it for. Anyone have any research database that I can go to to try & find out more about it? Gibson connection ? etc.
Thanks Mperkins37

oops had to correct email... Been playing for almost 40 years now with a recent 12 year hiatus. Decided to pick up guitar again and, damn do I miss playing. Anyway stashed in the garage with all my guitars amps etc was my old El Degas F209 12 String. It needed a new bridge and a tuning key. Had a craftsman in Pueblo CO fix er up and she sounds great. More than great actually. I had never really given much thought to either the name or how good this guitar really sounds. I originally traded a Fender maple guitar neck for the 12 string in 72. My friend had only owned the guitar for a couple months when the trade was made and I've had it ever since. As I said really hadn't paid any attention to the name of the guitar over the years and now with the internet i checked it out. Appears that El Degas is a respected name. Anybody else have this guitar? Can anyone tell me more about this particular (F209 12 string) model or about El Degas in general? Thanks Steve

I have a 1964 Framus Television with a birdseye maple veneer, either copper or bronze & a type of tiger stripe picgaurd. Several knobs and switches for all types of volume and tone, tremolo, spring-loaded flange type of device, and the historical plywood neck. Please help me out with what it may be worth. It is in near mint condition. Thankyou for your time.

We picked up a Tiesco guitar in seemingly good shape from an individual who was selling it on the local ask your neighbor program on the radio. We were just wondering if we paid a good price for it or if it was just a waste.

hi,i was wondering if anyone could please give me any info on a kiso-susuki guitar model no.w-150, maybe the value,age or company histoy.it also has c f suski est 1951 written on the head.thank you.

I bought this guitar 15 years ago from a music store whose company had gone bankrupt. According to him the guitar was a prototype made for Herb Ellis. It has a solid spruce top and solid Brazilian Rosewood back and sides. The tuners are plated with a yellow metal which I expect is gold, although I cannot say for sure. It was made in Nagoya, Japan before Arai transferred the manufacture of Aria guitars to Spain.

I have hardly played it and other than a couple of very small scratches, it is like it came out of the factory. A coupIe of years ago, I took it to a guitar maker for restringing and he told me the guitar had a richer sound than most of the Remirez's, Hausers, etc. that he had heard.

I am interested in getting a "ballpark" value on it for insurance purposes. (Wilma took my roof off and I want to get it insured.)

I live in the South Florida Area and would like to find an appraiser who would give me a written estimate. Unfortunately I have spent a couple of hours on the internet and have been unable to find a local appraiser.

I have read several opinions that the "by mail" appraisals are not very accurate. Anybody know of an appraiser in South Florida?

Thanks!
