If it may be worth more, I'd point him to to request an appraisal, but that will cost him $35. I'd like to make sure it's not something more significant, or else he should be asking for more than that. I said that even as a no-name, the original parts (especially the bridge and bakelite pickguard) would bring good money on eBay, and that a "sum of the parts" to me says the guitar is worth at least $200. I forgot to get a picture of the butt end of the guitar, but the trapeze tail is the two-prong style, not coming together in one piece.Īpart from identifying it, he wants to know what it's worth. Binding is intact and not overly cracked, and all the parts look to be original. The guitar is in great shape, though it has a pretty good bow in the neck (nothing that would affect acoustic/chord playing, but you wouldn't want it for solos). There are no markings I can find, either on the outside or inside, though I didn't have a mirror to check under the top. I told him I'd take a look at it (to see if it was something special) and turns out it is a no-brand model, but has (to me) all the hallmarks of a 1940's era box. I know a guy prepping his parents house for an estate sale and he has an old acoustic archtop guitar.
