| Would you possibly sell it for the value of a p/p? Those Gibson 330's and Epiphone Casino's are nice guitars... |

| Chris, Thank you for your interest, and yes it is a lovely guitar but I would really like another Emmons P/p D10 preferably laquer finish, I am not a fan of the mica and it does`ent have to be black!! |

OK, if nobody fancies it I guess it will have to go to Ebay....... would anyone hazard a guess as to its value?? I need a starting price, its obviously not as much as an Emmons?? I hope it goes to someone who will play it and not leave it in the case for years as I have done!.  |

Hey John,
I have a '64 330 looks just like yours and I wouldn't trade it for the world. You can't beat that hollow-body sound from the neck pup. You just don't get that sustain and resonance from a 335 models with the middle block. I traded a '68 Cherry 335 for my 330 burst and have never looked back.
I would venture to guess yours should fetch around $2500, although it looks like your tuners and maybe the Bigsby are not original. I can only say for sure that they are not like mine, but my Bigsby is probably after-market as well...it has that extra bar for the strings to go under before wrapping around the lever's crossbar. So maybe yours is original. In any case, that is one heck of a guitar. I can't stress enough how powerful the sound you get from the P90 in that neck position.
Also, it's good for feedback solos too... 
Best of luck,
BD |

Hi Brian,
I agree with you they are lovely guitars but I can`t play anything on it that I can`t play better on my Emmons!!
Your right about the tuners being changed but I am sure the Bigsby came with the guitar.
I have now put it for auction on Ebay.....I can feel another Emmons coming on!! |
