I have a Giannini GS570, serial 1622 that I bought from a friend who had bought it at a garage sale. When I got the guitar it was in bad shape...the finish is damaged...lots of cracks and the bridge was cracked and about to split but I loved the sound and feel, so I bought it and took it to a repair shop. It is now my favorite guitar...stays in tune, sounds amazing, is impervious to weather changes. Every person that plays this guitar falls in love with it. The bizarre thing is that no one can tell me what it's worth...I have asked several guitar shop owners and I've scoured the internet. I hope you find out how much yours is worth so I'll have an idea about mine.
