Hey y'all, I'm new to this forum, and I need a bit of help concerning the value of a Jackson/Charvel I purchased not long ago.
I think I've come to the right place
First let me say that, though I'm American, I've lived in England for over 6 years now. . . That makes valuation a bit difficult, but any help in the general area will be very much appreciated!
I bought a CX692 off this kiddie for £80 - it was in terrible condition.
I've since (here goes. . .): Replaced the bushings on the machine heads (one was missing, so I had to buy 6 to replace it :/ ), replaced the nut clamps (all 3 were gone), straightened the neck, gave it a fret job, properly cleaned the fretboard, cleaned the body, replaced all the electronics - except the pups - disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled the trem, replaced the whammy, replaced strap buttons, screws, the trem posts, the v/t knobs, the backplate (pain in the ass to find one), filled in some cracks with plastic wood, and have given it a decent setup. . .
Now, here's the issue:
One of my guitar students wants to buy it, and before I did all that work, I quoted him at £150. . . I was wondering if that was too cheap?
I've recently been a member of thefret.net, but to be honest - it's a really decent forum - just chop full of old people who only play strats and teles. . . No one can give me any advice on this. One of the members, a Reverend Rawk (in case he's a member here, I know he used to own a Charvel model 7), referred me to this site.
Can anyone give me a bit of help on this one?
Cheers, y'all!
