pds Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 What price range should I be paying for a 1981 Lowden S5? Sounds great but the front has a few dings and scratches. Anyone any idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 Of course, this is a difficult question to answer with any degree of accuracy…probably not more than a few grand though. Why this particular instrument? Have you played it? You could get a brand new one for around 4,5k. Alternatively, I bought an F25 recently. Just realised I would much prefer a cutaway so if you have anything to trade… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dad3353 Posted March 5, 2023 Share Posted March 5, 2023 If it's sound, with only minor 'playing' wear, searches show prices between 1000-2000€. Any repairs might knock a few hundred off, and pristine condition and/or a hard case might add the same. No guarantee of accuracy, but I hope this helps; meanwhile... Have a great day.

Crusoe Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Can you post some pictures to show the condition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pds Posted March 6, 2023 Author Share Posted March 6, 2023 I like the sound of it to answer @R32and it's nearby! It does have some knocks on the front and the case is original but in bad condition..so I'll throw in a low offer around 1200€. Thanks for your help @Dad3353 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
