the year 1298

$400.00

that depends on an infinite number of factors, including the experience , and wealth of the owner, the type of music played etc etc, but I have been following Carlos 249s on the web for over 2 years now , and can say this: I have seen them on sale for $56 (goodwill auction) to $450. (a museum's offer on line)

Typical is $100-125. They may have retailed originally for about $100 in the 80s.

I saw one for sale in a local pawn shop for $100, went on line, read the reviews, and bought it. If you ask me ,or other life long performers, how it sounds , opinions vary. Those, when asked, who look first to the headstock to determine brand, are prejudiced, but those who simply listen, (including me), might say that my 249 sounds better than my (made in Columbus GA) McCormick, which in turn sounds better than my Martin D-18! Which is what my wife judged blindfolded

I asked her to do this because i thought that i might be prejudiced by all the hype I had read in the reviews. Things such as "I play my martin at church because it has a pick up but at home my Carlos cause it sounds as good."-or

"I refused an $800 dollar offer at a music store , because it would take me more than $1200 to replace it." I sold my first Carlos at cost to a girl who wanted to play in her church and in her ministries, but thought she couldn't afford a good guitar, , I proved her wrong. Now I have bought another which I shall keep.

I have had a set up done, and as is advised in some reviews, changed the cheap tuners for Grover's. If you are a person of modest means and love to play i would hang on to this gem. Although I "only" own a D-18, I have played D-28 herringbones and D-35s from time to time, and they dont sound any better' either. The Carlos 249 is an exact (I measured and calipered )copy of a Martin dreadnought, size wise within the limitations of the wood tools used. I believe it is the brass saddle and nut, however, that givee this model such a powerful melodious sound.

not much,poor manufacturing procsess not near as valuble as 1955 and up models.

The truthful answer - I am not being facetious - is that it is worth what you can get for it. If you are selling it, try to get several firm offers. The best offer is closest - or right on - what it's "worth".

The Gibson Lg-O (LGO) Acoustic Guitar build between late 1950s into early 1960s is approximately valued between $550 to $600. Or whatever the buyer is willing to pay.

That isn't enough information to answer the question. To determine a value, you have to know the brand, model, serial number, and condition of the horn.

i would say they are about $100-150 bucks...they are just cheap copies of the real deal.....but good enough to start with i guess. hope that helps.

From a online company. The only one I believe that's shipping there is Music123.com.

I have a Tanglewood TW170-AS-CE and its beautiful would cost around £269 (bp) so its way in your price range. Ive recently bought a Simon & patric for £599 it sounded good in the shop but when i got it home and compared it it was nowhere near as good as the tanglewood so i sold it after just buying it.

or you can buy Canadian,a Norman or seagull are great guitars for the money

Don't know exactly, but another search found Serial number 15661 to be made in 1875, and that is a very close number to yours.

A real one is worth in the millions. However, the chance of finding a previously unknown Strad is astronomical whereas coming across a modern copy, worth less than $2000, is extremely common, just check out Ebay. Except for a few stolen Strads only 500 or so originals remain and their locations are known.

The main difference between a Jazz bass and a Precision bass is in the pickup design. A Jazz bass has a couple of thin, straight that sit perpendicular to the strings. A Precision bass on the other hand traditionally has one or more split-pickups sitting somewhere between the end of the fretboard and the bridge, usually closer to the end of the fretboard. This split pickup design puts the half of the pickup underneath the thicker strings closer to then fretboard and the half under the two thinner strings closer to the bridge, making the low strings sound fatter and the high strings sound brighter.

When it comes to the necks of the two basses, the difference is in the feel. Precision basses have thicker necks, usually a little more U shaped. Jazz bass necks are a little more C shaped. I personally feel that Jazz necks are more comfortable, and easier to play at faster speeds, but to each his/her own.

Of course with all the different possible combinations available in the making of a bass guitar, it is tough to say what definitively sets the two types of basses apart sonically. One might say that a Jazz bass tends to sound a little mellower than a Precision, but that probably wouldn't be true if the Jazz had a maple fretboard and the Precision was equipped with a rosewood one.

Grand Auditorium body style has the width and depth of a dreadnought.

Its narrower waist gives it the appearance of a smaller instrument, adds treble "zing" across the guitar's tonal spectrum.

The waist sharpens the definition of individual notes, and also enables it to rest comfortably in the lap.

With less mass from the width of the braces, the guitar top moves faster, resulting in a snappy, bell-like tone.

Holy crap! I have one of those - email me! I have a bit of info that might help you. I have just become interested in selling mine and am trying to figure out how much it's worth, too.

Well considering the Silvertone Guitar was made at around the same time as the Skittle Trumpet which was created by professional Trumpeter David Smith, it would be approximately 56 years old.

Gibson Baldwin is an educational series Les Paul Style Guitar. They have some budget features hence the low price, for example "bolt-on neck" instead of "set-in neck". Interestingly, they have the trademark Gibson "Open-book" Headstock design. Usually this design is reserved for Gibson USA models. Not even the Gibson Epiphone series has this style headstock. Made in China however Chinese instruments are gaining a positive reputation, quality from China is improving rapidly and the Gibson Baldwin is good value for the money.
