That Yam is a beauty. Crap market at the moment. Cheap stuff is easier to sell as the students all have their bursaries burning holes in pockets

Is that the guy in Aberdeen asking upwards of £3k for them?

How very dare you @HarrySeven ...you and I both know those prices are bang on market value ( for insurance purposes of course)...I reckon if we all got together we could set a new pricing structure for Yamaha !

I need to revise my pricing structure

JerkMoans

Right.  Absolutely the last reduction, pushing to sell here or I'm taking it down Denmark Street as I've seen something else I'm GASsing for.  £1850 straight takes it.

JerkMoans

Bump up the jam!

Is this not it?

JerkMoans

Yep. From my contacts in the Metropolitan Police I am given to understand that the original vendor on here engaged in some manner of commercial transaction with those fellows at Coda whereby the Tonemaster was traded against the price of a shiny Gibson.

I’m still trying to shift my SG but may not apply the proceeds against said Tonemaster as I’m now GASsing for other stuff. Such is the nature of this accursed fickle affliction.

***NOW OPEN TO TRADES*** - seeking a Gibson ES 335 or similar (perhaps one of the smaller ones - 339/359)

Tuesday breakfast bump.

JerkMoans

...right reduced one more time. This hurts....

JerkMoans

Pull up to my bumper baby. 

JerkMoans

Right - want this gone this weekend if possible as I've got my heart set on something else and need to raise the dosh.  Make me an offer, kids.

JerkMoans

31 watchers on eBay and not one message BUUUUUUMMMMPPPP

spark240

Yes...because they are all already SG owners and they want to see if it goes ;-)

Ive owned an SG for some 30 years now, and have 3 and Id love to think they are worth fortunes, but sadly the reality is they are not.

But GLWS anyhow.

JerkMoans

I’ve evidently been grievously misled  

Will ponder keeping it and making a pure of my NGD dreams

^ This 100%. I've owned maybe 6 or 7 Yamaha SGs (still have 3 or 4 knocking about) - @spark240 owns 2 of my former SG-3000s*.

Despite skewed public perception (due to the wildly speculative pricing of one particular dealer across almost every available sales platform in the known universe), they are not worth vast sums of money. Great, great guitars...but £2K+? Errrr...no.


*H7 trivia corner: @spark240 and I grew up together during the late '70's and '80's - we were all Skids/Magazine fans and his Yamaha SG (traded for a Gibson LP Deluxe at Woodroffes in Birmigham) was the first I'd seen close-up "in the flesh" - it absolutely cemented my love of these guitars.
