Late 60´s 355 all mahogany

[neuroy]

I´ve been offered a late 60´s all mahogany 355 in a very good condition. No repairs or anything else.
It´s seems like a rare guitar.

What would be a fair price ?

Sorry, but I have no pics.

This '67 was offered for sale a couple of years ago by Olivia's Vintage. I believe they considered it a one-off. Same git?

I would be interested to hear how the all hog body affected the guitar's sound.

In many cases, rare doesn't equal valuable-nor does it equal desirable. The '67 that Olivia's had was listed on Ebay for weeks (if not months) for around $7500 if memory serves. I don't recall if it actually sold. The tone probably wouldn't change much unless the top was solid mahogany rather than just the outer laminate. I would bet dollars to donuts that its plywood like all the rest of them. I would value it the same as any 355 from the same year since folks aren't out there clamoring for mahogany 355s. On the other hand, I like oddball stuff like this simply because it's unusual. I'd look around that jack to make sure the plastic ring wasn't covering anything sinister.
