The Guitar Gallery Forums - The Guitar Legacy of Matsumoku

Hi All,

I have an ES-800 (GIBSON ES-335 LAWSUIT COPY) and am looking to sell it. Its in very good condition, can anyone advise on its estimated value?

Also where might be the best place to sell it? (i am in the UK)

Cheers
Craig

Hi Craig!

The ES-800 seems to be a rather uncommon critter. All I could glean from the information section of this site is that it's an es355 copy. I couldn't find anything in the forums. Could you post some pictures please?

The best way to sell it is probably via that online auction site that so many of us profess to loathe yet watch like vultures. (You'll have to take some pictures if you go that route--hint, hint!)

What is it worth? Whatever someone will pay for it. Classic Era Matsumoku semihollowbodies (APII, Vantage, Electra, Westone) generally sell at auction for between $400 and $800 in the USA and probably a bit more in Europe.
