MartinWright Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 Hi all, I am new here and wondered if you could help value my guitar. I bought it new back in 2018 with the intention to get back into playing the guitar, which I did manage for about a month. Due to the arrival of a couple of kids the guitar got packed back into its case and has stayed in the spare room ever since. I honestly do not want to part with it, but realistically, I cannot see it coming back out for a long while still. We are going through a huge house renovation which is eating my funds away rapidly and I am planning on proposing to my partner which has been put off for a while now. This probably is the worst music to anyone's ears on here but I think I'm selling my guitar to buy the ring... Please can you let me know what sort of price I should be asking for it? The guitar is a Gibson Hummingbird Rosewood AG which I purchased from Peach Guitars in 2018. The link below is the guitar I purchased, and comes with the hard case. It is in very good condition and hardly been played. https://www.peachguitars.com/guitars/acoustic-guitars/6-string/gibson-hummingbird-rosewood-burst-avant-garde.htm Many thanks in advance, Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a Gibson, a little more modest than the original full-fat Hummingbird, but a fine Gibson nevertheless. Having looked around at some ads on other sites, I would suggest that one should be able to buy a pretty fine ring with £1500-1800, depending on your patience, waiting for the right Buyer to come along. Have you considered selling it on a commission basis, from any of the outlets offering this service..? They may be able to help with evaluation, too, and would have a wide client base. Just a thought. Hope this helps, and good luck with your projects; meanwhile... Have a splendid day. Douglas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham50 Posted October 30 Share Posted October 30 I think @Dad3353 is about right on value. When I was looking for a quality acoustic last year I was offered a similar guitar but well worn for £1750. Hopefully if yours is mint you should make at least that.
