Travis Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 The silver Artists (Vanguards?) with humbuckers. I don't see a lot of them around very often. Are they going for similar cash to a run of the mill Artst Mahogany?
silentman Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I'd say anywhere from $600 - $700 would be the price range.
Nuclear Wessel Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I think they're a great deal. I think there have been some that sold for under $600 on E-Bay. Most would rather get one in a nice clear red or sunburst finish, or prefer an Artist Korina HB so the silver ones are often passed over.
sw686blue Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 I just picked one up for $700 brand-spanking new. It's a 2002 NOS that wasn't moving at a guitar store. I haven't bonded with it just yet, not sure why though. I love the color and it's great for so many different sounds. I may trade it for a Studio with a killer flame top and chunkier neck. It's probably that f**king white nut that Hamer installed on it instead of the classic black ones! Nick

sw686blue Posted March 16, 2005 Posted March 16, 2005 So you think so too Brew? I knew it was that damn nut. Ok, who do I call and yell at???
sw686blue Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I should blame Austin (atquin) for making me part with $700 bucks. At the HFC I had seen his and fell in love with the color. Last year while in Connecticut I had seen an Artist Mahagony in orange sparkle. That was even crazier!!! If I keep the guitar, I will add paua abalone crowns. I think the combination of silver sparkle and blue-ish abalone is going to be sweet Nick
Mike_C Posted March 17, 2005 Posted March 17, 2005 I wish they still had the silver sparkle finish it is one of my favorite colors.
