Always Broke Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 I've been looking around, and suddenly I get the idea that a black Standard would be completely awesome. What would be a good price for those guys? Anyone want to make me an offer?
cmatthes Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 They exist. It was a stock color for that model for many years - both the bound body and the "50s style" with pickguard that was catalogued in the late '90s.

crunchee Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Dave's Guitar Shop has a used 'Black Beauty' Standard Custom for $2250. No affiliation from me, though, but it does look cool!

Siaip Ciuvas Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 they exist, but don't expect them to be below 2K$ even in this market...
cmatthes Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 The non-Custom Standards should fall well below the $2k mark though.

No affiliation from me, though, but it does look cool!Wow, that thing is ridiculous! Looks to me like it wouldn't look out of place at a metal show or a wedding The non-Custom Standards should fall well below the $2k mark though.That said, does the Black Beauty seem reasonable? I can't afford to keep buying and selling at a (large) loss, so what would be fair value for something like that, or other comparable Standards?Thanks for answering the questions!

New, from a dealer, that would probably cost you somewhere in the upper $3k range. Base list for a Standard (new) is almost $5k - WITHOUT all the custom add-ons that one has.
Siaip Ciuvas Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 yup, that one at Dave's is really well priced. would love to add black brother with The Riff, but at the moment thats impossible

Always Broke Posted April 6, 2009 Author Posted April 6, 2009 After all these exquisite examples, I think an ebony fretboard would be the way to go with it. I just love the extra bit of attack you get on those things, AND it's a great compliment to the finish.Damn you enablers! I think I just jumped headfirst into shark-infester waters...

I think I just jumped headfirst into shark-infester waters...Regardless of the guitar I have for sale, I have always disliked the aesthetics of a black guitar with a brown rosewood fingerboard. Maple or ebony fingerboards if the body is black. I know tone and playability come first but just my .02

Feynman Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Who you calling an enabler? This one kills me, so it might as well kill you too.
specialk Posted April 6, 2009 Posted April 6, 2009 Good gosh Feynman, that is a Standard! Where did you find it? Is it for sale (he asks, without having two nickels to rub together to his name)? Link, please, if you can.....
Kilroy is all about... Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 1979 production, black opaque, rosewood neck, crowns and inlays, bound..0150... excellent re-fret and polish job under pirateflynn's direction. I sold it and eventually bought it back from him. picture from serial steve's archive after he bought from his brother cmatthes. also, I've got the black opaque sunburst, 8-0213, bound and crowned, as they're a pair, a match of old school '4-digit' hamer axes. From the golden era! both guitars for the nominal price of $7500 dollars, shipped two-day air... How does this offer appeal to your BLACK hamer gas. Peace, kilroy posts..
veatch Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Who you calling an enabler? This one kills me, so it might as well kill you too. Sweet Lord... It even has the 10th inlay...
specialk Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Sweet Lord... It even has the 10th inlay...Yep. And all... B...B...B... BOOMERS!
veatch Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Sweet Lord... It even has the 10th inlay... Yep. And all... B...B...B... BOOMERS! More proof: The best inlays humanly possible for a Standard are the boomers. I dare someone to change my mind on that...
BubbaVO Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Sweet Lord... It even has the 10th inlay...Yep. And all... B...B...B... BOOMERS!Wow. Awesome.
sonic1974 Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 Who you calling an enabler? This one kills me, so it might as well kill you too. Un-fucking-believable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
atquinn Posted April 7, 2009 Posted April 7, 2009 I believe it's Korina as well. The ultimate Standard IMO.-Austin
