This is my first post here, have been lurking around for a while and wanted to get some advice on a guitar I may be parting with. The guitar is 6868 Elite Standard with the hardshell case of course. It's in very good condition with the normal wear and tear you would expect on a guitar of that age.
I've been watching ebay and Kijiji to get an idea for fair pricing but thought I would ask here as well.
Some pics can be found at the link below

Do a "6868" search here in the 'For Sale' forum. There have been a few through here.
Good luck! |

Location: Ontario, Canada | Thanks that gives me a better idea, I'm on the fence on whether to sell or not. I haven't picked this beauty up in quite some time and hate to see it sitting their not getting used. Looking at the prices today and knowing what I paid back in the day I think I'll be hanging on to her.
Just need to find the time to practice and put the time in on this guitar that it deserves from me. |

Welcome to the Hive.
The best thing to do if you have a guitar sitting around gathering dust becasue you aren't playing it is to buy another one to keep it company so it won't get lonely! |

Welcome to the Hive.

The only way to respond to, "Why do you need another guitar when you don't play the one you have?" is to play them all. Guilt is a great motivator, so is planning on meeting some OFC buddies. You have to be able to play what you bring. |

Out of curiosity can anyone tell me more about my guitar I bought it in 1995 and it has what I think is the natural/vintage finish, from the pics I posted earlier can anyone confirm that for me?
I've had a few folks offer me money for it over the years and I've held out and will likely continue to do so especially after having found this forum. |

Oh, and by the way, welcome! |

Does the "-x" or lack of it signify something? |
