The right price for this 750xl

[charvellotic]

Hi to all.
I've find this charvel 750xl.
The original bridge pickup and a new trem are included.
It needs the neck pickup,the switch selector and there are some scratch as you can see in the photo.
The serial is C906357.
I'd like to know the right price to pay for it.

The trem in the pic is not a correct trem its a schaller copy but may work fine until you find the correct one.Cool piece.

So is it better to find the original trem?

Just keep an eye out for a schaller branded one thats all The one you have will work its dimensions are the same as a Schaller.I'm sure someone here has one they would unload.

Ok..i'll buy the guitar without the trem.
So which is the right price to pay for it?

I dont understand. Does it come with the trem that is on the guitar now? Other than a different saddle, it appears to be the correct trem for the guitar. Is it worn out or something?

The owner buyed a new trem (first pic) to replace the original.
However i could buy it without the new trem.
So i'd like to know how would you pay for it in that condition.
Thanx

OK you can buy it for less with the original trem is that what you mean?.Ask him whats wrong with the original trem.I bet its just fine and only needs a good cleaning.
Don't tell him that.Thats between you and everyone else here.

A 750XL just sold on US ebay for $1525 + $40 shipping. It was a lemon flame maple top with only a few issues.

[charvel750]

Yeah, but Don, that was a highly unusual sale. They generally are nearly a grand lower than that. The solid colors are worth less, although they do have matching heads.

I'd say that the powder blue above with its missing parts and all is probably worth $500 US. Charvellotic, you're in Italy, I bet there's not many 750's in Italy, so it could be worth more. How much is the dude asking for it?

[JACKSONFREAK]

In the condition its in with original trem i wouldnt pay more then 250-300
With the new copy trem 250.00 U.S. dollars. But then i paid 200 for a complete one. with only a couple of chips.

I sold an old 750xl it had a huge ding on it right in the front, and some other wear. It sold for around 375 on ebay. Ignore the one that sold for 1595, another one that was identical sold for aorund 1000. You will always get lowballers that say these guitars are worth only 300-400 bucks, it's just not true. The value is what a willing buyer will pay, and I know MANY willing buyers who pay more than that.

Anyways, I would pay up to 400 for it, but up to 500 if I were stoked about it.

Hi to all and thanx for the reply.
He asked me 400 euros

Try to talk it down to 300 euros without the new trem. 400 is a bit much considering it's lacking pickups and the switch.

It would be better to keep the original trem, as the new one is a cheap copy.

If the original trem is beyond repair, get a real Schaller like the other guys mentioned, not that cheap p.o.s. he is trying to sell. The guitar is good enough to warrant a top quality trem and top quality pickups.

On another note:
I would ask for a picture showing how far off the thick E-string is from the fingerboard. A picture taken perpendicular to the fingerboard would do it.
