Fuzzface...Arbiter-England ala Hendrix

Sign in to disble this ad
I'm curious as to your opinions as to how much this little beauty will bring on Ebay. It's original from the late sixties. I got it second hand around '68 I think.
The bottom plate is gone but one could be cheaply made by a metal shop. Got a little MoJo!!
WHAT'S IT WORTH?

Is that really all there is to an old Fuzz Face?

Wow.

...I can't help you with the price, BTW. I have no clue how much one is worth without the bottom plate.

I think remember seeing a broken one go for $400, so... good luck and don't hold me to it.

It's worth as much as people are willing to pay

I'd say start at ~400, if that's how much a broken one went for

You really are a swell guy but I couldn't ask you to pay all the shipping. How 'bout I pay half?

Gosh,1968. Seems like a long time ago! .....Hell, It was a long time ago. I was still a guitar player then......(sigh).....

This one's gotta go to the bay.

Yeah, people are probably remembering me saying that I sold a broken one to someone in Japan for $400 a few years ago. You definitely want to make it available overseas, as my spidey sense is telling me it wouldn't fetch half that here in the US right now.

yeah, they are very very simple

the tough part in making your own is getting the right transistors (and using correct values for everything else, which I failed horribly at, my big mistake was the transistors though)

That's where I remember it from so blame bongo if you don't fetch as much.

I just did an Ebay search, and the originals are going for anywhere from $200 to $800 depending on condition and the collectability of the specific year/model. There are two up there right now active with bids at $685 and $700.

Dang! Bongo beat me too it.
I do not know if this is cheating...but I saw a bottom plate for a new one on ebay too. I would say that it is not cheating if you are honest to begin with though. Good luck!!!
