    Hi all

    I have a 2009 Sadowsky Jim Hall that I’ve been thinking about selling. It suffered a headstock crack in 2012. This was repaired by a well-known UK luthier, recommended by a member here if I recall correctly, and has played just fine ever since. The stock pickup, which I’ll include with the guitar, has been swapped out for a Lollar Novel CC, which will remain installed in the guitar for sale. Other than the headstock repair, and the pick guard being reattached after the same incident, the guitar is in excellent condition.

    I’m unclear how to price this guitar fairly if I decide to sell it. Obviously, there would be full disclosure of the history of the instrument. Any thoughts much appreciated.

    with thanks - Bill

    Rarity of an instrument can sometime affect the value but imo around 25-30% off what they typically sell for.

    Reasonable selling price may be even less due to demand. 60% of excellent used is my guess on actual selling price.
