Is anyone able to advise what would be a fair price to pay for an unmodified RGA321 or RGA121 in good condition?
(E.g. slight buckle rash / pick scratches, minor signs of hardware corrosion/discoloration, 1 or 2 small/shallow knocks/scratches on the body edges)

Do particular years tend to fetch higher prices or are they all much of a muchness?

I had my eye on a few RGAs but didn't want to miss out on this 2008 RGA321F while I waited for a reply, so I've pulled the trigger. £675 (~$925) seemed very fair, considering RG550/1570/2550s frequently sell for more in worse condition.

Looking to buy an Ibanez Prestige RG752LWFX for $1700 CAD with case and in excellent shape. Is this a good price?

If it's anything like my RG652FX, it's a good choice of guitar. Great tone and sustain.

How good a deal that is depends on just how "excellent" the condition is.

I believe you could buy a brand new RG752 (or Ibanez APEX) from a Canadian dealer for about 20% more. Possibly in a less desirable finish though (personal taste, but I really do like that limba wood top!).

Cool. Yeah, the only model they have of the 752 is the whethered black with reverse headstock. Don't like reverse headstock, and Fusion Edge pickups?? No thanks.

I much rather this used one.

Thanks for your comment.

Hi all, looking for a price check on a couple of guitars. The first is a circa 1998 Jackson USA Soloist SL1, pickups changed to an EMG SA/SA/81 set. Unfortunately there's a nasty chip in the paint on the side near the strap button. The rest of the guitar is in excellent condition and the ebony board is outstanding, jet black with no pores.

I'm looking to sell the Jackson, the price check for the PRS is more for interest/insurance purposes. It's a 2010 DGT 25th Anniversary with a PRS Wood Library 10 Top, beautiful guitar. I think these were a Guitarist Magazine order for the UK market, 25 in total, this is number 21 of 25. The specs for these guitars is here: https://wildwireguitars.com/prs-dgt-ltd-artist-grade-flame-top-tiger-eye-1-of-only-25-worldwide/

Hopefully the link to the images works:

Any thoughts on what these might be worth?

I bought an RG550 genesis for $1000 four months ago. I've decided it isn't for me.

Do you think it's reasonable to get $950 for it? It still has the original strings, plastic on the control cavity covers, and tools. No damage whatsoever.

I also bought a new Ibanez case for $200, for it. Thinking to sell the guitar + case for $1100.

For some context, they are always out of stock of RG550s in my area, and the pricing for a new one has crept up to $1,150.

What's the current running price for a Ibanez Jem? Nothing fancy, just the plain ol Jem7v.

Not willing to sell it at all, but what's the appraisal for a '91 Ibanez JEM 77 all original and in excellent conditions?
I've seen prices on Reverb that I can't believe and seem a bit high to me

I have offer to buy RG2228 '12 w/o case for $1150. Does it seem to be fair price or too much? I kinda need case, but overall condition is good. It has few small dings, but that's all.

Price check on two Jackson USA Select SL2H Soloists:

2004 SL2H in Black Cherry Metallic. Has a paint line that showed up on the back, otherwise excellent condition. No chips, ebony is dark and smooth. Case has the smell of smoke after loaning to a friend for a month years ago. Will try to remove again before selling. Setup and tuned to Eb/D-ish with very old strings. Original pickups and electronics in the guitar. Missing Floyd bar. Frets in great condition.

2008 SL2H in Black. No visible flaws or chips, excellent condition. Tuned to E with Elixirs. Original pickups and electronics in the guitar. Frets in great condition.

Thinking about trimming down my Ibanezes to get a warrior. Just curious what people think the going rate for a UV7BK or UV7PWH are these days (without case)? Kind of a shame, but I basically have them as universes I can play comfortably without worry too much about a ding here or there, instead of the UV77RE. Which has the effect that I never play the UV77RE and I have a bunch of extra money wrapped up in the 90s models :D

I'd say $2K to $2.5K. Market is way down at the moment, though. I see quite a few US Jacksons sitting at good prices on Reverb.
