hi guys
im arguing with myself about selling one of my Guitars, its an 81 or 82 gordon smith gypsey, double cutaway!
when i bought it i loved it straight away, but ive struggled with work lately (self employed) and i got some bills which need sorting asap!
i looked on Ebay and there is a 91 for £375

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rare-1991-cuta...=item5ae3e834b3

also there is a 92 single cut lefty for £599

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Gordon-Smith-G...=item1c18b26e69

will try and post up a pic later unless you can find it in my previous posts from over a year ago!

any advice would be appreciated!

I have no idea what that guitar is worth but it looks like a good buy to me at anything under 500 quid,saying that I reckon I may be able to pick up a mexican strat at around 200 quid on e-bay so with times as they are I guess it's worth what someone's going to pay for it.
If it doesn't sell you can always message the seller and ask him what his best offer was.

If you e-mail Gordon Smith Guitars, the serial number from rear of headstock, they will give you an accurate date for guitar.

That looks like a beautiful instrument.
I can almost feel the sustain and the tone coming out of the wood and that bridge from just looking at it.
