Reinhard Another scary pic Sold for 3K US. It would have to be a spectacular job to get it remotely normal again.

singemonkey About $3,000 tops, I'd say. Given the amount of loot you'd need to sink into it - and with that the amount of wood you'd need to replace. Hmmm. Maybe more like $2K tops.

Maybe more like $2K tops. $2K...that's like almost R16k...sounds like a bad investment to me. How much can you get for it secondhand in good nick?

I'm thinking no less than about $8,000 for one of these guys from the 1950s in good condition. Reinard?
Reinhard It actually sold for 3K US. I have no idea what these go for sorry. I think it would only be worth getting if you can do all the work yourself and you like a challenge/torturing yourself.
singemonkey Although to be fair I said it would be at least $8K, whereas it looks like a mint condition guitar would go for about $8K.
