Hi everyone. i am looking for a 1991 limited edition takamine. If anyone has one in mint condition I would pay good money. Thanks
Mine is not in mint condition, but it is set up well and plays like a dream.
would like to know if you would sell it,what condition it is in. thanks
I am trying to make a decision about keeping this guitar or trade it in for an upgrade. Before I trade or make my decision, I would like to know its value. I keep it in its Takamine case and have it in a closet so it is in mint condition. I like it but looking to get a Taylor and may use it for trade but havent decided.
OH, boy this was an old post.. but i hope you kept that guitar… what a beautiful beautiful guitar.. and the sound is magnificent.. I have it, i love it.. i bought it new.. it is not mint, because it has been loved 🙂 but it IS rare, and relatively valuable, and sounds better than MANY a Taylor or even many Martins… funny, there was one on Ebay last year sold for 2500.. today there is one selling for $419 or best offer.. i guess its all relative.. i wouldnt give mine up for the world.. i especially love it when someone who REALLY knows what they’re doing, picks it up and plays 🙂

The latest sale on eBay was 750 also in perfect condition.
So, the range as I can judge is somewhere 500 to 1000.
Reply if you will consider to sell it and if so will appreciate some photos. By the way, what’s her number on the tag inside?
Thank you,

I have the same guitar that I bought used 20 years ago. I got a hell of a bargain on it then, but I have the same question. It has been a fantastic guitar. I paid $250 for it in 1987. Every musician who sees it and plays it comments on what a fine instrument it is.

I bought on new in the early 80’s have had the same question. They seem to be very rare but anyone that plays it loves it. I saw on another blog site one went for $850.00 several years ago. I’d hang on to it.

This popular thread has been given its own page : Gibson ES-150DN
Hi, I have a 1969 Gibson ES-150DN in Blonde. It is in 8 out of 10 condition. Very beautiful. I have tried to "Google" up info on this model. I tried evry word combo I could think of, but I cannot find anything.
I know that thay made an ES-150 way back in the 1930’s or 1940’s, but , that was a different animal. I have the one that was made only in the period 1969-1974.
Do you know where I can find more info on this item? Also, if you have any idea of what some approximate price range of what its value might be.
Thank You,

Hey John, Thanks for taking the time to reply to my post, I have considered selling it, but I have no idea what to ask for it. This particular one is a tealish blue colour, has a small amount of buckle rash on the back, but is overall in excellent condition. Feel free to make an offer on it if you want. We could even have a private auction on ebay with the buy it now feature if we can agree on a price. if interested let me know.

That guitar was made for one year only. It came in 3 colors red, white or blue. I have a beat up white one and absolutley love it. The only other Ibanez models as rare as that guitar that come to mind are the AM400, 442R and GB30. Hang on to it or drop me a l;ine if you want sell it.
I had one of these long ago and lost it to a divorce. (It was a shattered casualty by an angry ex.) I have been looking for one forever, and while I have other guitars, this one sticks in my mind. Any help in locating one for sale would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I’ve bought a left handed 6 strings white Concord in 1975.
It’s a model 754 ML. Number 750519.
It’s in a perfect state and I would like to know its actual price.
This is a jumbo (J200 imitation ?) and the black plastic protection is doubled.
Its sound is very big.
Thanks for all.
is there anywhere i can go on the web to figure out what model of ibanez i have?.. i think its a s540 but im not sure.. except that it was made in fugijen,japan in 1993 and was the 6,661 guitar made that year..
I will e-mail pictures to seriously interested parties. I have a 14 year old Ibanez EC-29 that was factory custom manufactured with a Steve Vai handle in it. I purchased it when I was in England & then had an accident which left me unable to play. I was waiting to see if my son would pick it up but he is not interested. The guitar was only played for approximatley one month, you could hang this baby in a store & you would not know it was used. Looking to sell for the right price.
I am looking for a Washburn EC36, especially, as I already have an EC29, but I would not pass up the opportunity to get another EC29.
PLEASE contact me if you know where I can find either of these guitars in working condition. THANKS! [email protected]

I’ve got one also that my brother-in-law got during vietnam while in Germany. He had loaned $200 to some guy who couldn’t pay him back, so he gave him the guitar. Based on this info, I can’t imagine that the guitar was worth at that time in Germany more than $300-$400. But I don’t know the exchange rate at that time. All I know is that the guitar is really, I mean really great to play — great action and great tone. It has a built-in pick-up which I haven’t tested yet. I just got it from my in-law last week.
: : : : I HAVE AN OLD FRAMUS GUITAR. IT SAYS FRAMUS WERKE-BAVARIA. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GUITAR.
I too have a framus. It is a Romanze 5/103 which I believe is the model. It is a tear drop shaped 6 string acoustic. I saw one on ebay just today for over $3,000 I was in shock! I am not sure how much I could sell it for if I wanted too, but I was just curious of it’s worth. I would suggest you try to find the model number on the inside of the guitar and try looking it up that way if you can’t try the serial number on the inside 🙂
I had the opportunity to buy TWO of them NOS in 1994, but I bought only ONE NOS Framus Romanze 5/103 flatback guitar lute for only Hfl 175.-. The only thing that was special to them was the teardrop shape. Because of that shape you can play them laying in your bed. They had laminated tops, backs and sides and sounded like a cheap laminated Japanese Ariana (sub-brand of Aria’s). I traded it when I bought my used Aria Pro II TA-61 in 1995 and I got 200 guilders for it. That is €90.- toda.
I saw one offered at the Veenendaal Vintage Guitar Show in the early 2000s for €265.- but I bought a solid top round back guitar lute with OHSC instea.
The $3000.- that Jinna saw on eBay is a totally ridiculous price IMHO.
I buy used solid rosewood classical guitars for less than €600.- and sometimes even for €350.- or lss.
If you have €3000.- in your pocket, there are better ways to spend them than buying one laminated guitar lute that sounds so so. The fact that an item is scarce on the market, doesn’t always mean that it has a high valu.
It could also mean that almost nobody wanted it back in the days.
I guess that it’s worth maybe €350.- now (to a collector, not to a serious guitar player, who would spend that money on a used solid rosewood guitar with a solid spruce or solid cedar top.

: : : : I HAVE AN OLD FRAMUS GUITAR. IT SAYS FRAMUS WERKE-BAVARIA. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GUITAR.
I have just been given an old Framus Accoustic which has seen better days. I was wondering if anyone out there knew of a Framus parts dealer from whom I could purchase a new neck from. The wear on this one is extrordinary and it is not worth having the neck re-built. Ideally I would like to rebuild it but cost is of course a consideration. Anyhow, please get in touch if any of you guys out there can help me. Thanks all, and bye for now.
: : : I HAVE AN OLD FRAMUS GUITAR. IT SAYS FRAMUS WERKE-BAVARIA. DOES ANYONE KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THIS GUITAR.
I’ve got one also that my brother-in-law got during vietnam while in Germany. He had loaned $200 to some guy who coulodn’t pay him back, so he gave him the guitar. Based on this info, I can’t imagine that the guitar was worth at that time in Germany more than $300-$400. But I don’t know the exchange rate at that time. All I know is that the guitar is really, I mean really great to play — great action and great tone. It has a built-in pick-up which I haven’t tested yet. I just got it from my in-law last week.

Hi there I have one of these guitars as well.
It’s an arch top acoustic with a pick up in the bridge.
A small bodied guitar tobacco sunburst with a floating bridge, the label is still inside reading, 5/51, serial No 53277, 61M.
Can you give any more information about this beautiful little baby.
