Unless you played it and feel in love with it I'd wait for another one.

That sounds steep to me personally

I've been looking for a traditional myself and dealers seem to be asking around the £1400 mark, so I'd say it's a bit high presuming it's a private sale.

Funnily enough I was looking at a 2011 one the other day for £1149 but the guy would have took a grand:

Someone else bought it, polished it and listed it with loads of info and a nice set of pictures and wants £1599 now...

I'd say £1500 + is on the high side for these there weren't that much new IIR.

Wait it out and you should get one for £1k ish.

There's an R7 goldtop on here for £1900, would save up for that instead!

Too much. I paid 1500 for a new 2013 traditional.

Thanks guys, pretty much sums it up.

Will avoid and wait until I find one at a better price point

I bought my Gold Top Traditional new in November 2012, it was £1499.
The idea that it's increased in value is ludicrous.

I was browsing through a 2006 Guitarist that had the BB King interview... a Trad LP was only £1249 rrp then... and Studios £799 and LP jrs £499

...see what they done to us???
