2244.0. "Gibson Guitar Price Help" by WR1FOR::PULEO_JO () Mon Jun 24 1991 21:37

    If you were me...
    
    I've owned an old Gibson J45 Deluxe Acustic for quite a while. 
    Recently one sold for six figures, (Buddy Holly's it was). Well
    mine doen't have the same colorful history, but would like to
    sell it soon. Any idea's on an asking price? Also have a Peavey
    Backstage 110 Amp. which works well with the Gibson. Any idea's
    on the price of the amp.?
                     
    Thanks in advance.

2244.1With hard shell case!POLAR::KFICZEREMon Oct 02 1995 10:378
    I found a Maurader at a flea market this weekend.Guy was asking $375
    Can. It's in good shape,creamy yellow with some sparkles in the paint.
    Finish is cracked a little,but not exteme.
    Can anyone give me some info on this thing? Weird pick-ups. What's it
    worth? How rare? Btw, he says it's a '69. The serial no. on the back of
    the headstock starts witha 6 as well.

    The Maurader was a mid-70's kinda thang; the 6 in the serial number
    does not indicate a 60's date.  I think the pickups on these were
    designed by Bill Lawrence.  Other than that, don't know much about em.
    Always wondered what they were like.  How does it play?

    Rosewood neck-needs a set up. Didn't check the frets.Btw, it was a 9 at
    the start of the serial not a 6. =69?

    Gibson started coding date info into the digits of serial #'s in 1977;
    prior to that, there is no correlation.
