Ted Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Hey Everybody,It has been a while since I've been to the site. I hope everyone is well. I actually had to spend a couple ofweeks in the hospital--Not fun at all.I really need to get a Floyd equipped guitar for one of my live rigs plus some extra cash with this terrible economy.So I wanted to get your all's opinion on how much to ask for my New 07' 59' Burst Elite. I bought it Brand New from David's Guitar Loft just outside of St. Louis in the summer of 07' as a back up to my Indigo Blue Elite.I have enough humbucking guitars so I am going to move this one if I can get somewhat of a decent price(which by looking on Ebay doesn't look like that will happen!).So what should I ask for it and packing & shipping on this board, and as a last resort on eBay?It is New!!! I only played it a couple of minutes to make sure everything was o.k. which it was.Your Guys advice will be greatly appreciated as always.Sincerely, Ted from Evasnton, Il
rooster69f Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Sorry, but what model Elite? I bought an unplayed 2008 Monaco Elite for $1100 shipped a few months ago, if that helps. You might get a bit more for '59 Burst as that seems to get some extra attention.
bubs_42 Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 Ted Post some pics... the better the top the more money were willing to offer!
sw686blue Posted February 3, 2009 Posted February 3, 2009 I'm guessing between $1100 and $1400 for a '59 burst depending on options. A basic '59 burst Monaco Elite should bring in about $1250. Just my 2 cents.

Feynman Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 I bought then sold a near-mint tobacco burst for $1200 a couple of years ago.Crazy good guitars for the money.
Ted Posted February 4, 2009 Author Posted February 4, 2009 I bought then sold a near-mint tobacco burst for $1200 a couple of years ago.Crazy good guitars for the money.Hey Feyman,Did the $1200.00 shipping, insurance, and packing material costs in it?
Feynman Posted February 4, 2009 Posted February 4, 2009 Nope - $1200 + shipping, so it would have been right about what Nick is saying. I think it ended up at maybe $1265 with all the shipping.
