Unusual Ramirez Guitar

Hi,

I've come across an unusual flamenco guitar for sale, and a friend of mine would like some input on what it might be worth.
The guitar is a 1986 Ramirez 1a cypress with machine heads in mint condition. What's unique about it is that the tapa is signed by Sabicas, Paco de Lucia, and Paco Pen~a. Clearly, its a collectors item. Any idea what it might be worth or how to value it?

Thanks,
Jonathan

I'll give the seller five hundred pounds for a quick sale!

I'd be careful to check the spelling of those names, sounds a wee bit iffie to me.

Cheers
Jim.

Check to see if it's signed by Niño Ricardo as well.
If it is, then I'd give it a miss.

The owner of the guitar is a well know flamenco, and was great friends of Sabicas, Paco de Lucia, and Paco pen~a. There is no doubt whatsoever concerning the authenticity of the signatures.
