Michael1917 -> RE: Castillo Blanca selling price (Jul. 15 2011 22:20:26)

I don't know what things are like in Canada, but with the economy the way it is in the USA now, I'd advise holding onto the guitar unless you have a sure buyer at the price you stipulated. I seriously doubt you could get more than $1700 or $1800 for a second-hand castillo blanca in the U.S. market now. This is not to say your guitar isn't worth $2500 but, after all, it is used. Once you walk out the door with it, it drops in value. Also, it is not a Spanish-made guitar. Yes, the Castillos and the Navarros have good reputations and they do make good guitars but there is still a stigma, to some degree, attached to Mexican-made guitars when it comes to selling them in the marketplace, especially second hand ones. I don't know why that is because many of them are outstanding guitars. Unless you really need the money, hold onto it. Eventually the market will turn around and you'll likely get close to the price you really want. That's my 17 cents of advice. All the best!
