Price check for a 2007 R4 Oxblood

[kuwahara80]

Sorry, but i have to ask for this one, as there are not many around.
Mods, if this is against the rules, please delete.
What you guys think is a fair price for a 2007 R4 Oxblood? Guitar is clean, changed Pu, but original Pu is there. Just Vos versions, not the later signed ones.
I see ads from some time ago, list them for 3500 Euro (sold) and actual listings for 6500Euros. Seems like a big difference. Ebay and reverb is not a big help here.
Thank you for your thoughts.

You couldn't pry my Oxblood from my cold dead hands. You could offer me 50 billion dollars and I would tell you "No." The Oxblood is truly priceless.

But I'd say $4200+/-

Thanks for that reply and number!
Anybody else has an observation on those?

How much are hens’ teeth going for these days?

Whatever you are willing to pay I will go $100 more...

My actual advice would be to start your listing a little high, but entertain offers from people. If one like yours is sitting for sale at 6500 Euros and has not sold yet then that price might be a little high. I think 4200 is a fair price but you might find someone who will pay 5000. Maybe you should start your listing at 5500 and let people make offers?

Remember: No one will pay more than a new M2M one, with warranty... unless you can sell them on mojo.

I wouldn't pay more, or even buy a "M2M" Oxblood over an early one with Schaller tuners built by Edwin Wilson. You're crazy.

Aladin Sane...

Then again, I am keeping my Stinger JB 54. Not Oxblood but a great top picked by Dave Carpenter under the Gembar/Wilson regime!

Those are the very best guitars ever built at Gibson, in my opinion. Let the secret of The Oxblood remain.

I just bot an '06 for $3600 with Monty's... felt like a good price.

That sounds like a great deal, compared to the asking prices i see now.

Yeah... I gave up looking a long time ago (the prices are crazy IMHO)... and there it was on Reverb on a Sat morning about 8 am lol.

It will be here on Monday... fingers crossed.

Just an update: guitar arrived and is "as promised"... sounds awesome, plays awesome!

These wrap tail R4 style guitars just have "something" that makes them sustain just a little more... I have a regular goldtop R4 as well.

For those who haven't taken the plunge on either the Jeff Beck or an R4... DO IT... you'll be pleasantly surprised!
