Goya Rangemaster Hollowbody

[aidanthepanda]

Hello!
i found a goya rangemaster vintage hollowbody in red sunburst here in singapore, where i live.
it's in very good condition but i think the guy is asking way to much for it.
could anyone help me guess what it is worth?
it's a 60's rangemaster made in italy - very good playing condition with some cosmetic damage such as scratches etc, but very playable

He's asking for about USD - 1500 (including the original molded case)

cheers guys

I found two for sale here in the U.S.A.,both with the original cases. This one is in really nice conditon, red sunburst, but has a non original Bigsby tremolo and bridge added. $799



This one is in the natural finish, all original,in great condition. $1195



Just for good measure,I'll throw this one in,even though it's the solid body model. What a beauty! $1295 or best offer.

Thanks spud!

that's all great, i now have a better idea, so do you think around 1200-1300 would be a decent price for it?

it's in pretty much mint condition but with a few scratches as mentioned.
what should i look out for in terms of wear and other things when checking the gutiar?

I'm thinking more like $1100-$1200 would be a fair price if it's in really great condition. Then again, if you just really got to have it and don't mind paying another $100 to get it, that's cool. Your decision. A few scatches and minor dings are totally acceptable on a guitar of that age. You say it's in near mint condition, so if that's the worst cosmetic damage,I wouldn't be bothered by that in the least. Otherwise,just make sure all the electronics work properly, tuners work well,the frets are in good condition, etc. The usual stuff. You say it plays well, so it seems good to go.
