12th fret is a well known store in Toronto for high end used guitars, mandolins and banjos. Pretty much the only store of it's kind in the city (There is one other similar but smaller store). This guitar has been in the store for months. They keep knocking down the price. Now it's at 6750 CAD (comes to around 5000USD). It's not like it has any flaws. It's pristine. Comes even with the original case. Is this another sign that archtop market is dying:

Note: This is not a sale post. I'm not selling the guitar nor do I have any affiliations with the store or the owner of the guitar. It's just that I've been seeing a lot of achtops lately with very good prices just collecting dust in the stores.

Yeah you're right. I missed that. Still though, according the reverb price guide this is like half price.

1/2 price is typically what a refinished guitar is worth.
but if you like it make an offer, they'll probably bite.

It does not look like as photos of the actual selling item, more like "borrowed" stock or article photos,
Maybe I am wrong... but anyway, above $5000 the buyer expect more than 2 photos and including close ups...)

Refin without a serial number on the label......I think it’s priced fairly.
