First off, this isn't a for sale ad.

I've been thinking about selling my Roswells. This is hard for me as I love them to death, but I just don't play them any more. I've got 2. A black one that has a few paint chips on the edges and screw holes where a Roland synth pickup was fitted by the previous owner. I've fitted an EMG-81 to it.

I've also got the much rarer metalflake blue version. This one's standard and is mint apart from a little bit on the bridge where the black paint has worn though on the edge of 2 or 3 saddles. It's very minor.

I just want to get an idea of what these are worth.

You can probably get about $600 for the blue one on E-bay. I sold my black one for $500, but it was in mint condition.

that black one is bad as fuck

metalfiend666 · 04-06-2006, 05:39 PM

Cheers guys! I paid £600 for the blue one about 3 years ago and £350 for the black one about 2 years ago. I was thinking I could probably get about the same for them now. Bear in mind these are UK prices, so they'll be higher than the US.

Those things are coooooooool!!!!
I've never seen one in person - I thought they were worth like $15k?!?!?!?! (Which guitar might I be thinking about? - I remember Silverchair had a video clip and the guitarist had some super expensive chrome thing like that...)

Though you'll get more hits on Ebay if you spell it "Rhoads".

You're thinking of the USA models. They were a very limited edition (about 300 I think) and had an aluminium body. Daniel Johns plays one in the Silverchair video "Freak".

Doh! I hadn't spotted that until then.

Yeh that was it! They looked awesome!!! I wonder what they'd be worth now..

Sorry, back onto topic - They are cool guitars - I think they should be worth heaps more!

I have no idea what a USA model runs to now, but it'll be a lot of money.

I wish mine were worth more, but they don't seem to be. My decision has been made though, these will be going up for sale. I'm going to replace the EMG in the black one with the stock pickup first though. Once that's done I'll get some proper pics and post a forsale ad.
