Going back a couple of years £3k+ was being asked for used Nashville 335s in good condition but, perhaps due to the improvement in Memphis models, maybe £2700 - £2800 is reasonable now for a really good example? Let’s see what others think.....
If that's a genuine Nashville custom shop 335 you've got a bargain BUT I've seen a number of 335s for sale claiming to be Nashville CS which weren't. Do you have a serial number?
The way Gibson over-uses the term Custom Shop causes a lot of confusion and misrepresentation unfortunately.
@ellwood, I'm guessing it doesn't have a COA so it would be a standard model? If so, I'd say that price it a bit toppy if it needs work. As a private seller I'd say they'd be pleased to get £1800 for one in very good nick, so maybe £1600-1700 for one that needs work.
(I'd be very pleased to get £1900 for mine, a flamey Nashville 2001 that needs no work and has a nice low action)
Thanks for the input!
My comments regarding current used value were in respect of Nashville CS models. If the one being offered to @ellwood is not CS then I agree that £16k - £17k for one needing work and in average condition is about right.
£19k should buy a recent Memphis 335 which are pretty good judging by the ones I have tried - but now selling for close to £3k new!
LOL. Looks like I missed out the decimal points. Mind you, Gibson prices are heading that way.
Need some more time with it - a quick early
morning half an hour hasn’t really put me in a position to know whether I like it or not. It feels like I should sort of give it a go - lots of people who’s opinion I respect have advised me to give a 335 a go. We’ll see.
Thanks for all of the input - I’ll let you know how it goes.
