Goose, I've got a 30-40 year old Guild 12 string in like new condition - don't know how much you want to spend though and I'm not really sure of the value.

Maybe RIJIMMY will chime in with a ballpark estimate here.

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

Guilds have appreciated a lot and that might be worth some good $ if its in decent shape. Quality names that are in good shape appreciate over time. It really depedns if its a high end Guild or a low end.
For example I have a 1980 Les Paul I bought when I was 15yrs old for $450. Used the crap out of it practicing and in bands for years and now its worth $1500!

Crafty - I use ebay as refernce point for value.

Ive played Guitar since I was 12 years old. Like buying a flyrod don't buy anything sight unseen, the neck could be warped, the action to high, cracks at the necks and body.

The best place to buy a guitar regardless of the budget you set is the Guitar Center ( Guitarcenter.com)

They have them all over. I frequent the one in Attleboro on rt 1.

They will let you handle and play anything they have, no question asked. If you go in there go into the back and go into the acoustic room and ask the help. I have been in a number of these stores and Attleboro and Boston on Commonweath Ave across from BU are the best. They have hundreds of guitars of all price ranges and will set it up for you once you purchase it, straightening the neck, setting the action etc, string type you name it.

I love that place and don't shop anywhere else. Before you buy on line without seeing the instrument check them out.

Unless the instrumnet is properly set up and matched for you you won't enjoy it as much as you would one that is.

Good luck!

Why even try.........
