I went to Guitar Center on Sunset and they wanted to do it for $60! I need something cheaper, but am new to the area – any suggestions?

Sam B asked:


I have a Gibson Classical Acoustic guitar that my mom got in ’74 I believe, & I was just wondering how much it’s worth. I don’t know the exact model, & all I can tell you is that it’s in bad condition; there’s a huge ***** in the front, scratches all over, but it still plays (& sounds like crap). I took it up to guitar center to see if they could fix it up at all, & they gave me an estimate for how much it’s worth (or at least how much they’d pay for it) & it shocked me, but I’m just looking for a 2nd opinion. Oh, & by the way, all you vintage guitar collectors shouldn’t get your hopes up–it’s not for sale. This is just pure curiosity. And after I get a few answers, I’ll tell you how much guitar center said it was worth.

I saw it at guitar center, and it was $440 – only because it was the last one they had and they had not sold it yet. it was a 60s stratocaster. how good is this guitar? thanks
also the price is sooooooo low. IT WAS NOT USED EITHER.

why?
THIS WAS THE GUITAR!!!!

is was the sunburst red/brown color NOT the light blue

The Beak of A Tumor asked:


I’m looking for a vintage (or something made at least before 1995) Fender Precision Bass. I’ve looked on eBay, but that stuff is way too expensive and there’s no way to know if it’s quality or original. Does anybody know of a great vintage shop online or around the Northwest area where I can find a used vintage bass for around $1000 or less?

10 points if you help me out! I’d really like to find a great vintage shop.

Also, please don’t say Guitar Center, eBay, craigslist or any of that stuff.

Thanks!
