FS/FT Time Capsule/Relic '65 S-50 Special OHSC/Keys/Hantag Trade for Something More Rocking

[Guildedagain]

Will also consider basses and acoustics.

70's vintage Electro Harmonix pedals.

It's light. I prefer light guitars/basses. My days of 10lb boat anchors are behind me.

Value of guitar based on comparable guitars in today's market.

What FS/FT value are you putting on this?
Does it have a thinner 1-5/8 or chunkier 1-11/16 neck?

 

[Guildedagain]

Lettsee, I priced it up higher than any other on the Verb, sold, and sadly that put it up around the $2600 price, and since, the boom has bust, but I did turn down a couple pretty good offers, damnit, because they didn't make any sense considering the others available, this is just better than just about any other.

And it's pretty.

I'm going to look on the Verb again to see where they're at, I'm guessing this should be worth $1600? Shipping can be worked out, and I'd really rather trade than sell/and the PPal fees.

Off to the Verb for a look.

Pretty indeed!

Still going for $2200, any and all TGP discounts apply, looks like trade value in the ballpark of $2k.

But, as the pawn shop where I bought my 1st electric said on their sign out front, "If it doesn't eat and it fits through the door" then I'm open to anything.

I'm ok with modded Guilds with Gibson HB's as long as home style butchery wasn't involved.

Hopefully, Guildedagain doesn't mind my posting his Reverb ad, which answers your question about the nut. That was a question I had, too!

Oops, forgot about that.

What is the nut width?

"Substantial C shaped neck, 1 11/16" nut width, original nut is gorgeous like new, unreal, 1 3/4" @ 3rd fret, 2" @ 12th fret. Super dark Brazilian Rosewood, frets are in decent shape and not sticking out on the ends too badly, without having had any work done, which is impressive. Tuners are in fabulous shape with case hardened tuner screws. They are a little stiff and could probably use a full clean and regrease. Tunes up well, rings like a bell."

USA tuners, yea, pre budget import tuners on lower end models.

And that ad copy is quite old, the tuners aren't stiff anymore, more regular use and TriFlow in the right places and they work like they should.

I'm tempted to ask what can be " more rocking " than a 1965 S50, but I will resist the temptation

It lays down some amazing rhythm tracks, it does have a unique tone, I'll see if I can post a track.
