Vintage Value????

I dunno about THAT... if she does auction it off, where is the guitar going to end up? In a glass box somewhere, hanging on a wall? Maybe it would be better off in the care of a loving owner like Fulghum who would play it all the time and treat it right.

Perhaps she could let you borrow it for a while, just to see how much pleasure it gives you. Then when someone gets round to appraising it she'll be reluctant to take it away from you! Well, it's a nice thought anyway.

bring it to her attention how much it could potentially go for. then, whatever is her offer is her offer. if you're still willing to pay it will be indicative of a.) how much you want it b.) how much the guitar and money means to her. No harm, no foul.

That is true

You could tell her you're interested in buying it, even though it's worth alot more. Then leave it up to her.

Hi floor! Make me a sandwich!

I may borrow it to record a few tracks on the new project I'm working on.. She has already said that would be fine....

I have given her some direction as to how to find the true value. I have put her in touch with Fender directly.. via their website.. I'm sure they will let her know fair market value.. She has supplied them with the serial numbers..

We'll see..

I'm interested in hearing their appraisal.

Fulghy, you're a true gentleman.
