[markaf19]

Help me please so i have takamine pt-108 its a model exculsive to japan from what i understand. , i bought it when i was stationed in okinawa. here are the specs i found on a japanese website

TOP=SYCAMORE

BACK&SIDE=MAHOGANY

NECK=MAHOGANY

FINGERBOARD=ROSEWOOD with turquoise snowflake inlays and turquoise inlay around the sound whole

PRE-AMP=PTU (CT-4BII)

 

So bascially these things go for $700 in japan without a case. Mine has a couple stratches on it and i am willing to inculde case i bought. How much do you think i should sell it for on the ebay? What do you think i can get for it?Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm kind of a Takamine fanatic. I've owned a dozen or so over the years, and I follow them on Ebay pretty much all the time. (all the Taks I've had are Japan-built, don't know much about G-Series) One of the great things about Taks is that you can find real bargains on the used market. (not so great when you're trying to sell one) Judging from the specs of the PT108, I think it would sell on Ebay for between $300 and $400 dollars with the case.

I'm thinking your pretty much in the ball park...the way the guitar market is these days, if you want a Tak, a used one is the way to go...vastly better "bang-for-your-buck" than buying new!

Thanks, thats good to know thats a descent price, its not exactly the kind of resale value you would get if you sold a gibson but i didn't except to get that kind of return. If i got that kind of money I would be fairly happy and I could put it towards the matamp XV head i been wanting to buy.
