Price check please

Was wondering if it is even worth trying to sell this guitar. Obviously

it has been top routed (not by me) for a Fender pickguard. And not professionally

either. Also, the pickup cutouts in the body have been trimmed so that they

match the pickup cutouts in the pickguard. The pickguard is a Fender pg

that I had made and modified by Chandler Music/Pickguard Heaven to replace

the crappy one that came with the guitar. The guitar looks absolutely beautiful

and is in awesome shape aside from the top route. The electronics is a new

EMG SA set with tone 2 being an SPC control. The mini toggle isn't connected to

anything. The neck is gorgeous birdseye maple and in awesome condition. Maybe

I should part it out for the electronics and the neck? I also have an extra used ABM

roller bridge with Graphtec saddles and used Sperzel tuner set to go with it. Though

I don't have a trem arm. Also, I have a nice hardshell case for it. It looks like

a Hamer USA case but without the Hamer logo. Anyways, what do you think?

Thanks!

Beautiful guitar, but you really don't want to ask that open-ended question around here,

Vintage S' seem to be going at around $1000 now in original condition. I think with the things you describe about the guitar, starting an auction at about $800+ might not be too far of a stretch.

(I know, I missed the opportunity to throw the bottom-feeder price of the board.)

I think a bottom feeder price is more realistic. I think maybe putting it

on Ebay with a thorough discription of what's been done and that it has

been modified and setting the starting bid around $200 would probably

be my best bet.

Roli's Vintage S that is now for sale is what my Vintage S used to look

like. Beautiful guitar BTW Roli!

I think that looks pretty sweet with that pickguard actually. I think your plan makes sense... this is a great example of a guitar where you should let the market pick the price. Pic's of the top route would be a good idea too in the interest of full disclosure.
