Yamaha MSG Custom

[Alan Dick]

I know there was a thread about these guitars a few years back that suggested these change hands for up to £1200 but I wonder what the situation is now.

I have a beautiful MSG Custom Serial Number PY21094 in pretty much mint condition including original pickups, case, trem arm etc. Paintwork is in great condition. Gold plating on metal work is slightly tarnished as you would expect from a 20+ year old guitar that has gigged a fair bit. The only slight blemish is that the plastic switch for the fretboard LEDs is damaged but as I am sure this is probably a three quid out of Maplins item it shouldn't be a problem to fix it.

I am thinking of getting rid of it but don't know what it is worth. Is there still a market for these guitars?

Hey Alan.

The MSG Custom does not appear in my price guide.

Here is one for sale on US eBay you may want to watch:


Here is one that sold in the US for $850, a pretty far cry from 1,200 pounds.


Finally, here is one that sold on eBay UK for 705 pounds.
