Vintage Guitar Shenanigans

[slash-ed]

Haha, both a fair question, seeing as he still hasn't actually deigned to state that there was a repair...

Photo 10. Break in the neck? Hard to say but the stain is darker and I reckon there could be a crack running across it.

OK then, now the question for those with a handle on this kind of thing is: knowing about the break, what's it really worth?

Unique suggested I offer ~$2200 (seeing as no real info is available on the circumstances of the break, assuming worst-case), which I did - but he declined and relisted.

The seller reckoned he had a buyer through a Music Planet somewhere for $2900. I don't know what that means, considering obviously no one else has paid for it!

I think the following elements make this guitar very hard to value - refin, headstock repair, less desirable 330 model, case unknown, changed tuners...when I look at those things I see a very devalued instrument in terms of vintage appeal. In terms of players appeal, they might all be well within the boundaries of acceptability. That's down to the individual as is the $ value.
