Hello and welcome, Kiwi. Pics definitely help. Here's a link to my thread on how to put pics up on Guitarsite:
http://guitarsite.com/hotlicks/viewtopic.php?t=658
Also incredibly useful are any info you find on model number, serial number... that type of thing. For a well-known make like Yamaha, a ball-park value should be a cinch. All the best, |

That helps, but any model name or number would be even better. Does the headstock say anything. Post a pic if you can.
English bedtime (overdue) now, so forgive me if I don't get straight back. |

The pixs work kiwiboy, good job.
You've got yourself a sweetheart there. The guitar is a Yamaha AE-11 produced from 1966-1974. According to the 2005 Vintage Guitar Price Guide the value is between $500-$700 US. |

| That does indeed look sweet, Kiwi. SB is the man on pricing the vintages, so I can only add one more thing. I suggest you stick a search for that Yam on eBay and watch auctions as they go. That way, you'll get an idea of 'street' prices being fetched. Lovely semi :D |

You seem to be the resident "expert" on older guitar valuation.
I can't seem to get a straight answer. I have a Les Paul Deluxe
Gold Top bought new in 1971 (a hard earned $ 300) with the slim humbucker pickups.
The guitar is in very good to excellent shape, a couple small checks in the finish near the cut away, other wise all original, in original rectangular case
with orange plush velour. The back is pristine clear as is the front.
I would like to sell it actually as I play only acoustic these days and
cannt really find a comparable axe on Ebay.
I am guessing something in the $ 2500 - $ 3,500 range.
Can you offer any way to determine the value?
Thanks |
