    1. Re: 1992 Taylor 712-C can I get an appraisal from somewhere?
      Rob MacNeille

      : This guitar is in mint condition! It’s a florentine cutaway sn#17557. It has fishman pickups (with the microphone that comes right up to the strings), sidka spruce, and not a scratch on it. I am having trouble finding any sites that have a sample of prices or even this guitar on it. Is there anyone out there that could give me a good estimate on its value???

        I saw a used one in a Taylor store in north Ga. in late ’98. It was in great condition with an added under saddle pickup with no on-board electronics. It was selling for around $1400.00. I’ve often regretted not buying it. Is yours for sale?

      Jenny, So much depends on the condition of the guitar that it is very difficult to give you even a ballpark figure. The O-17 is not a real common instrument and is not highly sought after like a D-28 or a D-18 might be. Recently there has been some renewed interest in these smaller bodied guitars from Martin. I would guess the value of yours to be in the hundreds, not the thousands if that is any help at all.

        Jenny!
        Want my advice?
        You need to have it looked at by a serious professional – maybe several. On "Anyiques Roadshow" last week they appraised a man’s guitar, 1945 00-18 Martin at $18,000 and it appeared to be in crap condition. I have a 1945 00-18 Martin, serial # 96778. It was my Daddy’s who played in a combo in the 40’s and 50’s. I had it autographed by C.F. Martin IV about 20 years ago. It is in good conditon.
        Please – GET A CASE FOR IT! Keep it put up in a closet (in case of fire),
        A guy here in Asheville at a music store offered me a "whopping" one thousand dollars and I laughed all the way home. I am not selling it although I have had many offers.
        Just thought it would be good info for you. Denise

  2. Guild Accoustic
    John

    I have a Guild D25m accoustic guitar with what I believe to be a chestnut finish. It is exactly like the one that Chrissy Hynde of the Pretenders used when she made a guest appearance on Friends. The guitar was purchase from the House of Gutairs in New York. It has a serial #. I am looking for an age of the guitar and approximate value. It is in excellent condition and has a very, very good sound/tone quality. A high quality pick-up was added to it…The kind that is behind the hole and stuck with a gum-like subsatance with the jack in the strap mount. Thanks for your help!

          THat serial number relates to 1953 model as is correct. The average price is between $1500 to 1800 if in excellent condition. The steel string version goes for $3000+ upward.

      1. Re: Martin guitar appraisal
        Courtland Cottrell

        My neighbor is very ill and bed-ridden. She asked me to come to her home today, and play her old Martin guitar so she could listen to it once again. It is a Martin 00-18G, serial number 125470, which dates it to 1952. It plays beautifully and sounds wonderful, however, it has scars to match its age. It has a straight neck and smooth, fast action. It has a 2" barely noticeable crack on the back at the rear midline lamination. It has 2 areas about 1 cm in diameter where the finish has been rubbed off showing the bare wood (mahogany). The finish is very dark and almost smeared, however, it appears to be original, so I may be mistaken. At some point, someone glued a thick black plastic pick guard below the sound hole. I am not certain why they did this, since the face is not scratched or disfigured in that area. There is a small 1cm diameter decal on the top face that the owner said was placed to cover a chip in the finish. It has a guitar strap peg in the rear, which I do not know if it is original. This instrument is not pristine by any means, but is very playable and sounds terrific. The owner is past friends with numerous famous guitar artists (Andre Segovia, Alvino Rey and others) who have all played this guitar. She is the original owner and intends to leave it to her son, but would like an estimate of its real worth. It is likely that this guitar will not be sold, but the owner is curious of its worth.

        Thank you for your time.

    I own a Fender Villager, bought new in 1971. Black body w/ natural neck. Partially refretted in 1992. Plays extremely well and is in great shape except for some temperature-related splits in the epoxy finish. Was thoroughly checked by a guitar shop and there are no structural problems. Comes with original hard case (w/new hinges and handle) and a Dean Markley pickup. Any ideas on a fair selling price? Any input would be appreciated.

      Umm no, it’s like a sure bet it is not worth 1000… maybe. I own a black one and its in excellent condition as well. I paid only 200 for it not too long ago. Which is not to say it isn’t an excellent instrument. For sound and vibe I choose it above my expensive guitars. But it may be a possibility that the pearly finish is like some wierd rarity or something. Who the hell knows. Someone I bet.

        I have a pearly colored one too… I’ve always hated the look of the guitar (the shape)… I named it "Fug Leigh" (fugly). I’ve read what some people have said they purchased the guitar for (used), and the prices have ranged from 300-500 bucks… My dad bought it for me when I was seven off of a guy for 100… That was about 10 years ago.

    (i played it for a while it really does play great). The only draw backs are that the gold paint job is not its original
    paint job, though it does look nice. the guitar head doesn’t have the original FENDER JAGUAR writting on it.
    A Fender expert has seen the guitar to verify and granted a new fender jaguar logo that is placed on the guitar head.
    I don’t want to get ripped off , please help. they want $ 950 for it. i think i want it for $800 – $850. What do you guys

      Hello,
      I have a 1964 Jaguar, Worn but still plays great. Original paint, chipped in spots, but all the head decals and such are intact.
      I was wondering what sort of interest there is in a vintage electric such as this. I was told not to refinish it or touch up the assorted dings in the paint. Is this true? I will leave it alone for now. Might even consider selling it or trading it off for the right instrument. Any ideas? Please e-mail me if you like .
      Thanks, Kev

      : I have a Martin Guitar D-16T. I would like to know it’s value and the date it was made.
      I think you have a D-16GT, the GT stands for "gloss top". The guitar was probably made in the late 1990’s and is worth 500-900 dollars.

      1. Re: Martin Guitar
        matt

        actually the d-16t came before the GT. It dates back to somewhere between 1993 and 1995. They are not worth too much, unfortunately. A good frame of reference is the SPD-16T, the special edition version from the same time period. The SPD version had gold tuners, bigger snowflake inlays, and abalone inlay around the soundhole. Today that version consistently sells for about $500 to $600.

        I used to own a D-16T but sold it for $299, and it was mint condition.

It has been a wonderful guitar, but the head was recently broken in an auto accident. I am trying to find a replacement for the insurance adjustor but am having trouble. Any ideas? I only paid $65.00 for it but my internet search is showing $500 – $700. Thanks for your help.

  12. August Pollmann
    George Miller

    Can you help me discover a history behind this guitar? A friend of mine mentioned that he had an old guitar that was laying around the house. I suggested that he bring it out and we’d play a bit. I was intregued when I saw what he had.

    Here are the features I noticed: It’s parlor size; the unbound neck is one piece with a "V" shape; the headstock is slotted; the top is solid spruce; the sides/back appear to be solid rosewood; the sound hole inlay consists of simple black strips plus a herringbone strip; the purfling is solid wood. The frets were not rounded but rectangular in shape – maybe 1/8" tall by 1/64" in diameter. I could not find a serial number anywhere but did find a white circle about the size of a quarter on the headstock with a faint writing that said: "August Pollmann’s Professional Royal". I think this circle was made out of a plastic material. Can you suggest a history behind this instrument?

    Thank you.

      I own a 1976 Yamaha FG-512, I was wondering what it’s made out of, and how much its worth.
      It ahs open, locking tuners, weird-maybe flame finish, diamond inlays set in rosewood, steel string rigging. It’s also in very good condition, maybe a solid 9.25/10.

Sway bar is on a hinge and spring. And the internation is not made on the guitar but comes separate that you place under the strings.

        I have an Epiphone Nouveau archtop guitar – I’ve never seen one before, I can’t find squat for price. The information I received from Gibson was that this model (NVJ-n) was designed by Gibson, made in Japan, and assembled/finished at Gibson USA, only between the years ’87-’89. It first ran under the Gibson name, later under Epiphone.

        This model is an archtop, full inlays and binding, with "Epipone" script and "Gibson" in 7-verticle layered diamond pattern, both inlayed, on headstock. Curly maple neck, back, and sides, spruce top, rosewood fretboard and bridge. All natural finish. All Gold hardware, single humbucker. Gibson case.

        Anyone ever seen one of these? I can’t find it in any price guide- any ideas on value? Thanks
