The target audience will obviously be very small. |

However, IMO I wouldn't pay any more for it, than he's asking for the shipping. It's a hunk of plastic.

My (upright) Czech bass, made sometime in the 1940's has a new fingerboard (2nd), a new bridge (at least the 4th one), new endpin (3rd), new tail block and new tuning machines as of last year. The bass plays better, the endpin never slips and it tunes more reliably- its appraised value of the bass is now much higher.
Even if my doghouse were from the hands of a famous maker, the appraisal would still be higher because of the playability and reliability. Swap out the neck, scroll or a major body part... that would be different.
If the seller can get $600 for a pickguard for a factory-made slab, then I've underestimated the level of insanity in the "vintage" market. |
