Instrument Buying and Selling

For electric guitars, Rickenbacker (originally called Ro-Pat-In Corporation).

Les Pauls are much heavier give a thicker sound and only have one cutaway. SGs have double cutaway horns, allow easier access to very high frets, are much lighter, and have different tone qualities. Personally, I prefer a les paul. I hope this answered your question, there are more differences but this is general i could do a better comparison if you asked about two differing models

It's an early 20th Century COPY, made in Germany or the Czech Republic (part of Austria-Hungary at the time). They sell for around a couple hundred dollars, maybe less if it isn't in playing condition.

They are made in China and are cheap. They are not good quality instruments. I wouldn't waste my money on them if I were you.

Right now as of (11/4/2011) every indicator and sales place on the internet is putting a price tag of $2500 for a 68 Gibby LP custom.

Keep in mind that the vintage guitar market is very fickle - while the value probably wont change much but it will go up and down over time.

That all depends on the shape that it is in. A straight neck, no chips, dents, etc.. Original Pick ups on it will increase help keep the guitars value. Refinishing this guitar will actually make it worth less. This was the first year Gibson reissued the 62 SG. The neck is slim and the guitar is lightning fast. I have one. I bought it 30 years ago for $349.00. Then the Les Paul Standard was $350.00 only a dollar more! I would not even think of parting with my SG. So it is priceless. I have had offers a few years ago of $4,00.00 - $5,000. Excellent condition. One owner.

Whatever someone is willing to pay for it!

Right up front, I really have no idea. Because of its age its value will be in its style, finish and condition rather than as a musical instrument. Values vary quite a bit. Your piano technician can probably do some checking for you; you will have the serial number of the piano, and your technician knows very well the style and condition. I'd love to see a picture of it, but I don't think that is possible in this forum.

You gave the brand,but you need to post the name if it has one and model.

It is very hard to track the serial number. I think you will get a much better answer if you post those along with the serial.Don't forget that if you got hundreds around your area you might get thousands in others,now with e-bay. The only other thing I see on the piano is the number 1610 in the wood

Sorry,when you answer back I do not get a flag to let me know. Try looking,on the back,inside all around,underneath, for a name.

Yes, unfourtnantly they are out of production. The style was a little different from fender's electric violin's models but it still had the same quality sound for a cheaper price.

Not much, as this monster is expensive to move around. In other words, you have to help purchaser with the shipment. There is one person in Finland who might want to purchase it, but you have to ship to Finland. Please email leppalammi (a) Yahoo.com

I remember my first violin was a used one (though in good condition), and it came with all the necessities (such as a cleaner, and resin). It cost around $150. I'm sure you can get one for around $70 at the cheapest. But overall some violins can get pretty expensive as you require a better violin.

Epiphone is to Gibson what squier is to fender. A 'sister' company. Despite this, epiphone were producing instruments before Gibson, but that doesn't matter. High end Gibson instruments are produced in America, as opposed to epiphones which i believe are built in Korea. Gibsons generally feature slightly differing specifications in terms of dimensions and weight. Gibsons also feature higher quality parts, as youd expect from the much higher price. This is not to say that epiphones are bad instruments at all - i have one and it is fantastic. The name on the headstock also alters the price.

I have a similar label on my violin except the date reads 1726. These violins were made in Germany quite possibly Mittenwald, in the 1880s. The instrument if fixed properly and in good working condition should sound a lot better than the cheap merchandise that's being made today. You might want to bring it to a professional luthier for evaluation. Here is the link for an auction a few years back for a violin with nearly the same label.

I hope this answers your question. Good luck.

around fourteen years old?

The best age to start a rock band is... whenever you feel your ready! It's always a good age to get into music, especially rock music! It's one of my favorite genres, besides deathcore (a sub-genre of Metal, which in turn is a sub-genre of Rock), and I think you could learn a lot from the experience. Have fun and send me a message when you've thought of a good band name! And if you want i could send you some of the music that my band has made. Good luck!

Although they are antiques, they were made by the proverbial "gazillions". If you pay $1.50 for 1 bona fide "rare" record u r close to paying too much. ******* Oh gosh yes. I agree! You can find the red Columbias by the truck load. Even the blue Columbias and Flag Columbias of the 20's are just everywhere. The two major companies of the time were Victor and Columbia and their records are all over the place. Even in mint condition they are only worth about a dollar or two. I wouldn't pay more than that. But now as years go by and they get more scarce, the price may go up but I wouldn't hold my breath for another 50 years or so. The high price stuff comes in the rare jazz and blues records of the 1920's and the black R&B and doo-wop records of the mid 1950's.

MONARCH A popular piano manufactured by the Monarch Piano Co., of Chicago. The Monarch pianos and player-pianos are desirable instruments of attractive character at moderate prices for unsurpassed values. Perfectly safe to buy.

Re The Heritage Valve Organ, There are a number of electronic problems due to the age of this fine instrument, i would say that if you could find an immaculate model in mint condition it would probably fetch upwards of £750. a model in average condition but playable should fetch around £500. In There day they were a great Jazz organ and still rock, especially with a suitable Leslie.

These machines were extemely complex and unreliable in the field. They are NOT for the first-time jukebox collecor. If the machine is omplete but not working I would say no more than $500. If it works, even somewhat, probably $1000 or so. I would recommend a project like this for the veteran collector who has the "grit" and stamina to tacke this beast. It weighed in at a hefty 470 pounds.
