jazzmaster 61 and sg standard 1974

[mich]

i'd like to sell those two guitars and wonder what they are worth.

the fender jazzmaster 61 with slabboard neck seems all original but in 1969 somebody re-finished it (removed colour and used transparent lack), so now the guitar is in wood-finish (serial62097). it's in pretty good condition. i guess originally it was kind of silver sparkled (pretty rare) thats the colour under pickguard (pickguard ist kind of tortoise with three layers)..

the gibson sg standard is from 1974 (serial 104955) comes with block inlays and a bigsby vibrato system (no white binding at neck). it has two silver paf humbucker and just a small pickguard beside the pus. the colour is like red that has become brown (it's not 100% brown)...on headstock we have "gibson" and kind of an "ananas" or that so called "pearl" underneath...on back of head is impressed serial and made in usa...the condition is very nice i guess.

has anybody an idea about price i should get for those ones?

thanks a lot and cheers.mich

Hey mich,

Someone screwed up royally when they refinished this Jazzmaster. It sounds like the original finish was Inca Silver which is worth around $10,000 USD today. The refin will really hurt this value. The least valued of the 61 Jazzmasters is the Sunburst at $6,000. A refin in a nonoriginal color will probably reduce this value by at least 20%.

The SG Standard is valued between $1,500 - $2,000 USD.
