Price help please: 2019 Gibson ES 345 with Maestro

Hattigol

Might list my 345 but I'm not really sure on value.

It's one of these - any help appreciated.

Oh wow, that's kind of a dream spec guitar for me. Let me know if you do decide to sell as I might very well be interested!

Couple of hundred at most mate, I’ll give you four hundred cash to be fair on you.

Sorry, no idea on value, but looks awesome!

Thanks, but already done a deal with @Teyeplayer for £200.

I suspect its 'niche' for want of a better word.  Hold out for the right price.

Too late @Blaendulais, I’ve just taken delivery from the lovely @Hattigol. ;

Great guy to deal with -we settled on £263.54 if anyone is interested (the 54p was the bit that clinched the deal I think) as it was pretty clear no one would want a Gibson in this day and age. I’ve already taken the initiative and have taken the hacksaw to the headstock, as there’s no point waiting for Gibson quality control to kick in, better to seize the day and turn it into a headless semi. The plan is to route for a middle pickup and a floyd, because why the hell not? I’m currently considering booking in for luthiers course with our sausage fingered expert, just to get the most out of it. These very select changes should be a great way of future proofing the guitar against certain unscrupulous bedroom sellers (no need to name them here).
