Good Deal or Not?

That is a great deal on a super great guitar!!

Lane Gray · Post by **Lane Gray** » 31 Oct 2012 9:13 am

Absolutely. Seconded.
Dekleys are devalued a tad relative to other guitars due to their impressive mass. Good playing, well built. Grab it

If "Very Good Condition" means just that, I'd call it a good deal.

He said he would throw in this amp for $400 (Peavey Session 500)

Total Steel + Amp + Case + Volume Pedal = $1800

Good???

Try for $350-375
4 is about top end. Great tone, but heavy

I may just get the Steel (if I get anything). Yeah, I might look around for an amp later.

My Dekley D-10 sounds fabulous. I work out on it every day. Just don't try to move it too often, it's a heavy thing.

The manual for this and other Dekleys can be found on the net... too....

They are easy to work on and modify if you want to change the copedant. I always suggest replacing the No. 6 socket head set screws in the bellcranks with #6 socket head cap screws (stainless) if you get to diggin' around.

Thanks Ray! Do you think $1400 is a good price?

Russ Tkac · Post by **Russ Tkac** » 31 Oct 2012 11:37 am

I think it is a good price but less is better. :)But remember the ad says it is blue not the natural pictured. Not sure why he didn't put a picture of the one he is selling?

Buy it!

A Dekley is among my collection. They get my vote, and the price is quite reasonable. Very sturdy instrument, reliable, good action and tone and yes pretty heavy, but that's because they're built like a tank. Go for it !

Tone to the bone.

If it is in very good congition it well worth the price.

troy,
i have had four dekleys with in 20 year span and they where the later models slimline and where great guitars. i had one model like the one you are looking at and it was a good guitar heavey !!! you won't go wrong with a dekley p.s.g

p.w

Cliff Kane · Post by **Cliff Kane** » 1 Nov 2012 9:36 am

Heavy is good! Heavy guitars tend to sound good, stay in tune, and they won't walk away from you on stage (and not so much back stage, either).

Steve, that looks like Bill S's old guitar....I was wondering where it went. What a cool guitar. You have great taste in instruments!

Paul,
I believe the Dekley listed IS a Slimline??

I had one. A whole lot of guitar for the money.

Henry Matthews · Post by **Henry Matthews** » 1 Nov 2012 12:50 pm

I would beware myself, anybody that says the guitar is metalic blue but the photo is tan, hummmm!! Another thing, anybody that can throw a Session 500, I'm not messing with, LOL

Sure looks like a Slimline to me. $1400 is a good price IF it's in good playable condition.

If you aren't very familiar with judging a steel's condition, take a knowledgeable player with you to do the evaluation for you.

Though Dekley's are heavy, they play, and sound, very good, and last for many, many, years. I've owned 2, one of which I still have, and will never sell.

The guitar in the ad is not a SlimLine. (Note the extra space between the tuning keys and the nut in the peghead.)

My guess is that the seller "borrowed" a photo of another guitar. There's no way a blue guitar would show as natural in a picture. I'd sure want to see and play the real guitar before making a deal.
