How much is the selling value of my guitar?
« on: October 11, 2016, 09:48:33 PM »
Hi Philmusic,

Just wanted to know the selling value of my Guild Les Paul as attached in the pictures below. My uncle gave this guitar to me 3 years ago.

I've tried checking the Guild website. However, the Guild Bluesbird does not come with the same color of my guitar. I've also tried to google but couldn't find the exact model.

I changed the tuning pegs since it wasn't fixed when I got the guitar. I've also changed the volume and tone knobs from golden brown to black / removed the pick guard.









Thanks.

Not your typical perfect musician. I'm just a music lover who happens to have a guitar, a camera, some microphones, and a laptop in his hands. http://www.youtube.com/user/AldriceChincuanco

Based on your pictures and my little knowledge of guild/dearmond bluesbird and s10 models, i found a few red flags you might want to check:

-trus rod cover should have 2 screws like gibson (or 1 screw for dearmond mik)
-decal on headstock should be a tower-like logo
-horn shape should be rounder (for older models)
-no poker chip
-bridge should have small post like gibson
-most have block inlays
-back of the headstock usually has mia or mik

Just my 2 cents. Let's wait for the real experts to chime in.
