I also have a BRG 881 in a hard case,I rescued it from a pawn shop in socal, for only $130 (they were asking $160 for it)After playing it for awhile, I felt just a little bad about talking them down in price .tunes&plays like a much higher priced guitar Ibanez is good comparison, Bottom line , It's hard put a price on something that gives such pleasure. Mines not for sale either , ENJOY!

I bought this guitar new in the mid-late 1980's, was looking to get information on it and what it may be worth today. It is black with pearl white 2 cut-out hollow body electric.

The wood is curly maple, the tuners I believe are Schaler with the other hardware being Gibson stuff, and the pickups depened on when the guitar was finished. Barrington originally used Barcus Berry, but then switched to DiMarzio or Seymour Duncan (I forget witch exactly but I believe they were DiMarzio).
Re: Barrington
The 872 (Tele body, bolt-on neck) has an Alder body, Maple neck w/ rosewood f.b., early pickups were the Barcus Barry and later were changed to Duncans (JB/bridge, "Classic Hot Stack"/neck). Machine heads and term (#1988) were Gotoh. Hope that helps!
Re: Barrington
Barrington Guitars were a few businessmen from Barrington, Illinois that decided to commision ESP to make their electrics and Gruhn Guitars out of Nashville to build their acoustics. I have owned an electric, single cutaway tele syle with a Gotoh Floyd Rose bridge, to Seymour duncan humbuckers, and a Les Paul style 3 way pickup selector on the top horn. It had one volume control and a coil splitter, and was painted seafoam green with a binded arched top and a 22 fret ebony fingerboard. I remember it playing really well, low action and a super thin neck that held its tune pretty damn well until a took it apart. I also own an acoustic. It's a jumbo stlye acoustic with quilted maple sides and back with a spruce top. an ebony fingerboard and a saddle elctric pickup. This thing sounds like shit. Anyway, the company seemed to dissolve after their first run of electrics and acoustics. I believe the single cutaway electric is the only style they made, with just a handful of bridge, pickup, and color options. I still see a few when I get back to Chicago. Don't pay more that 4 bills for one, you should be able to get it for 350.
Re: Barrington
I worked for Barrington Guitars back when I was in High School, so I am a little prejudiced in favor of them. They actually had two brands of electric guitars, Barrington and Foxxe. The Foxxe guitars were the poor cousins of the Barringtons. The Foxxes sound just as good as the Barringtons but didn't play anywere as good as the Barringtons. Inever much played their Acoustics, so even though I did work for them back in the 80's I am not familiar with them. The Foxxe's were basically a Chavel type body construction. The Barringtons however had a wide variety of body constructions. Everything from a Strat/Chavel style body all the way up to full body Jazz guitars. The prices all range, but since they are no longer being manufactured you should be able to get good prices on any of them. I still own a Barrington Semi-Hollow body guitar that is remiscent, in sound at least, of a Les Paul. Feel free to ask me questions.

Re: Barrington
Hi my friend got a Foxxe Barrington bass guitar
and i wants to buy it but i don't have any idea
how much it worth. That was a gift so she don't have any idea too. Is it high quality instrument ? It doesn't seem
to have a model written on it.. just Foxxe by Barrington.
So if you can give me any price advice like (around XXX$) or (no much than XXX$)i thought about 300$ is it too much i'd appreciate. Thanks
