  1. Antique Acoustic/Electric Eko Bass Guitar 1960's
    Chris

    I have had this guitar for twenty+ years just sitting in its case. Is there anyway I can get it appraised.

    Would be willing to sell it as well since I don’t play

        I have EKO BASS guitar # 125959
        Is there anyway I can get it appraised or is there a web site to go to start the process of finding out what it is and what it is worth.

  2. Value of a vintage acoustic guitar
    Sherri

    Hi, I was wondering if you had any knowledge of a make of guitar called PanAramic. Possibly rlated tot he Cruicianelli Guitar maker. It is a hollow body acoustic, made in Italy, maybe from the ’60’s. I am trying to locate an appraiser for insurance purposes. If you have an info could you email back? Thanks, Sherri

      : I am selling my vintage Gibson ES 335.
      : :: made in Nov’64 or Feb’65 – at 40 years old it’s in almost showroom condition. The tone & volume pots, switches, pick-ups, wiring, pick guard and mounting bracket, machine heads, tuning pegs are all original, with the original orange Gibson label easily readable. It has one small burn/scratch mark on the back, no buckle scratches, and the finish has the very faint spider-web cracking of a true vintage guitar.
      : The bell-shaped truss rod cover is not original. I replaced the nut and traverse-mounted saddle retainer spring.
      : Comes with a new Gibson hard-shell case. A rare vintage instrument.
      : For photos email me. Serious inquiries only, please; $3400.
