"Fender King guitars were sequentially numbered and the number placed on the back of the guitar on a small metal plate."

That would mean that 0020 is the 20th one made.

I'm not saying the Blue Book is always right, but there is a substantial gap between $1,100 and the $3,500 Gruhn is asking for his King. I think Spud's couple of thousand estimate is probably closer to an accurate retail price.

Julian, I think you are probably best off selling the guitar "AS IS" and just getting what you can. It will probably sell to a luthier that will be able to do the restoration work himself.

You don't see those for sale too often. When you do, in really nice original condition they go for a few thousand dollars. Gruhn has a really nice one for sale.



Unfortunately from your description of what seems to be the rather poor condition and very unprofessional repair done to yours, a properly done professional restoration would be quite time consuming and expensive. Also keep in mind that even a nice professionally restored guitar,i.e. repaired/refinished,is never worth as much as the same guitar in nice original condition. You may not even be able to recoup the restoration cost in a sale. Repairing and refinishing it yourself is not advisable unless you really know what you're doing. It would be interesting to see some pictures.

I am trying to sell a fender King acoustic guitar. The serial number on the neck plate is 0020, which I assume means that it was the 20th King even made by fender. It definitely needs some restoration and I am not sure how much is original. It has fallen out of a helicopter in Big Sur and the cracks where repaired on the surface with epoxy putty, and a piece of tubing was installed inside the body of the guitar to give it stability (I assume). The guitar is pretty beaten up, but nothing is missing and it has a beautiful patina. I guess my questions are, is there anything I should know about this guitar and how much would it be worth restored? If it is not to expensive of a guitar I may restore it myself, but I don't want to experiment on a great guitar. I will definitely post pics ias soon as I can find my camera and if I restore it myself I will post plenty of pics along the way.
Thanks,
-Julian
