As noted in the other thread, the seller thinks otherwise. It remains to be seen whether the BINs are achieved.Jeff Haddad said:Agreed - and I can't imagine that the parts separately are worth more than if the guitar was complete.
capnjuan said:The sum of the BINs for the parts including the case is +/- $1,300. I can't tell if this one had a Bigs or not but the market for the good condition RI SFs, excluding the 335-style, runs $900-$1,200 ...

This is typical of and expected from a market dominated by collectors. Condition, completeness and originality are what is important, not utility. We at LTG revisit this divide often and under many guises. Pretty much every discussion of prices can be broken down into the collectors on one side and the players on the other. Ditto for discussions on the ethics of parting, although the sides are not nearly so consistent there. There is often a sneer of sour grapes involved because, for the most part the collectors have the money and drive the market and the players get vocally frustrated because not only can they not afford many instruments but the ones that get away are perceived to remain unloved and unplayed.guildzilla said:I see an increasing preference for the cleanest guitars and increasing disdain for guitars with cosmetic issues, minor modifications or prior repairs.
Sucks rhino.This Seller $ucks
