Members RaVenCAD Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 And here is what I've got offered so far: First is a PRS Starla goldtop. He's also offering an XBox 360 Elite to go along with it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]337836[/ATTACH] Second is a 176 Gibson Les Paul - Norlin era, pancake body, probably a dud.[ATTACH=CONFIG]337835[/ATTACH] Third is a Taylor Solidbody Classic and a Crate Palomino amp.[ATTACH=CONFIG]337834[/ATTACH] Any thoughts? I'm not dying to trade the Parker, but I wanted to see what was out there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members newbuilder Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 If they are local I would play all three and see. If not, it would depend on what you are looking for. That Taylor might be a sweet axe, but I presume the fly is badass too:idk: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tweak'd Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 But didn't you just get the Parker? I musta missed something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted August 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 But didn't you just get the Parker? I musta missed something.... Yeap, a week ago and I love it. But I'm always looking for a great trade. It'll have to be an awesome one to get the Fly though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RaVenCAD Posted August 15, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 The guy with the Starla is now also offering a 1974 Hagstrum HIIN.. Never heard of it. Anyone got details on that one? EDIT: Google shows me this: Totally not my style, but I'm always looking for something to flip.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members craigny Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 Dude your like me when it comes to this....LOL..the trade bug is always there!! but i'd give some serious consideration to that Taylor man...ive seen demos on them and they look/sound sweet..you can swap pickups solderlessley..and the tone controls work really unique...ive been GASSING for one of those...love Parkers but having gotten rid of two they are an aquired taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members craigny Posted August 15, 2011 Members Share Posted August 15, 2011 Oh i just looked at ur orig post again...hes throwing in the Crate amp with the Taylor too??? Theres your answer man...id go for the Taylor and Crate!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JTEES4 Posted August 16, 2011 Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 If we are talking about the older Parker Fly Delux'es...then I'd say the Taylor + the amp is a win for you in terms of $$. Not that the Parker is not a great guitar, but strictly in terms of real $$ in the used market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted August 16, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 I've had a bunch of offers on the thing, but I think the only thing I'd trade it for is a nice current Les Paul Standard or Traditional, and that's strictly from a value standpoint. I had one offer of a 1976 Les Paul Custom, but I'm a little too leary of Norlin stuff to go for that one. I dunno though, I might just keep it. It's a very amazing guitar.

Members Lonnie99 Posted August 16, 2011 Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 Id at least look at the 76 LPC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RaVenCAD Posted August 16, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 nah, it was one of those natural finish 70s specials.. I could just hear disco music oozing out of the picture. One dude offered me a Starla and and old Hagstrom for it, so value wise, it's not that far from a current Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Deadbeat Son Posted August 16, 2011 Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 I had one offer of a 1976 Les Paul Custom, but I'm a little too leary of Norlin stuff to go for that one. Why presumably a dud? Internet folklore? They're not all turds. The '70s customs continue to climb in value. It would definitely be worth checking out. If it sucks you can always say "no thank you."

Members jamdogg Posted August 16, 2011 Members Share Posted August 16, 2011 Play the lp and the taylor. Why not? Best lp i ever heard was a 70s norlin era. And those taylors have awesome necks, not to mention the whole quick change pickups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deadbeat Son Posted August 17, 2011 Members Share Posted August 17, 2011 Also, regarding the Taylor, my local Music Go Round has one for $1399. Figure an extra $200-300 for the Palomino; does that sound like an accurate value for the Fly? The LPC would be worth considerably more than that.

Members RaVenCAD Posted August 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2011 I found the same Taylor on Ebay for $800 and the amp for $200.. The Starla is $1700 new, plus whatever that Hagstrom thing was worth. I found a 1976 Les Paul Custom in Ebay's completed auctions for $2900.. The LP is by far the best deal financially, but I simply don't want it. I detest those old natural LPs.. So while I want to make a smart trade and always trade up, I want something I'll enjoy owning.

Members Zappa74 Posted August 17, 2011 Members Share Posted August 17, 2011 That Starla is horrendous looking. And you've discovered that the Taylors aren't worth much. My local Best Buy was clearing them out new for $799 (possibly $749) a while back. Nice guitars but they just felt like they had no identity (stupid thing to say, but whatever).

Members RaVenCAD Posted August 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2011 No, that's not stupid, I get it. That's one thing I like about the Parker. It's funky and odd, but at the same time, it's very advanced and versatile. No one looks at it and goes "ho hum, another boring Strat/Tele/Les Paul".. Plus that bitchin plum color turns a few heads too. Here I am, talking myself out of trading hehehe Maybe I'll just trade my Carvin CT off instead? lol, yeah right!

Members Vibroluxman Posted August 17, 2011 Members Share Posted August 17, 2011 A local shop had one of those Hagstroms for $500 or 600 I think. I'm not sure, because it sold fast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
