Armitage Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 I get; "Sorry, you don't have permission for that!"Wow, did my wife program this thing so I can't see cool guitars I might want?
Hackubus Posted September 30, 2014 Posted September 30, 2014 Not only can I not see shit, I can't even post a pic of the Ray Charles "I CAN'T SEE SHIT" meme.
cmatthes Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I'm seeing two pics of a Braziliaburst E'Lite with a shrimpfork headstock. You guys not seeing those?
veatch Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Not seeing it. Would really like to. I'm saying tree-fiddy until i see a pic...
kurtsstuff Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 I can't see them either?? I usually base things price wise on what I paid for them but..I traded for this and I just took it on a whim??
veatch Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 Gene might be the best at knowing what they're worth. I can see Chris's pic. Dayum - i might be interested if the price is right...
kurtsstuff Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 The pics show it with EVH wolfgang pickups in it and currently is has 2 EMG 85's in but..I have the original Dimarzio's that it came with as well and if and when I can get a ballpark figure on it I'll reinstall the Dimarzios with Bournes pots
kurtsstuff Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 So..other than the "vintage guitar" price guide ..Any idea's?? I was thinkin Maybe $850.00?? VG said $14-$1800.00??
cmatthes Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 $1,400-$1,800 seems a bit high for a post '82, but I'd let one of the REAL vintage Dean experts chime in.I would think $850 sounds fair to me.
Hackubus Posted October 1, 2014 Posted October 1, 2014 I see one picture in cmatthes post.I can see the photos in cmatthes posts as well.
kurtsstuff Posted October 1, 2014 Author Posted October 1, 2014 Better Idea!! Somebody trade me a Cali standard? Just a thought?
DaveL Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 $1,400-$1,800 seems a bit high for a post '82, but I'd let one of the REAL vintage Dean experts chime in.I would think $850 sounds fair to me. I think that would be fair... although I know some people like those shrimpforks,
serial Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 $850 tops. It's a shrimpy AND Dean values tanked about two years ago. I sold my last 80 Standard as prices started to fall precipitously in 2011 for what I paid for it and that took a while. I really like the old Deans (pre 1982), but the guys who were buying them up slowed down or stopped-now only high school kids with $250 Razorback bolt-ons seem to want them. I stopped even visiting the Dean Lovers page years ago when it became overrun with kids and cheap crappy guitars. Not a single post in the vintage section for weeks/months at a time which was the only reason I was there. Anything pre85 is better than afterwards although people seem to like some of the modern Deans, I have yet to find a good one that's better or even comparable to the old ones.
Armitage Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 Another reason values have dropped, IMHO, is the people who enjoyed those guitars in the late '70s early '80s are getting ready to retire and are selling stuff off, not buying.
kurtsstuff Posted October 4, 2014 Author Posted October 4, 2014 So..I should just keep it and play it??? lol!
