As to value, will let some of the others help you with that. |

anything else you want to add is fine but says everything to anyone who would be interested in buying.
then, below say that you need to define and note condition.
don't know if you had any offers through the "for sale" here but the damage to the headstock is not minor. fortunately, it is on the back of the wing. anyone buying is going to have to send it to the factory and wait possibly 60-90 days for repair.

Location: Upper Left USA | If you took the investment and time to send it to the factory first you could then sell it as as "excellant condition recently repaired and reconditioned by the Manufacturer". This will greatly increase the value and confidence in the product.
At least send it back for an Appraisal to repair!
To me taking care of these instruments is good stewardship. I have seen the influence a good tool can have in ministry as well. |

Now please, somebody explain to me why Fender can get top-dollar for their phoney "relics" but an inconsequential ding in a genuine vintage early-production Adamas dips it's value by 25%. |
