I'm lucky that I know someone who can help me assess any gun and help me go through all the paperwork for a fairly low cost. I've just never taken up anyone on such an offer because they basically wanted what it could cost for me to buy the gun at full MSRP while my guitar is proably 50-66% of...
I mean, I'll do it if the value looks good or it's stuff that's easier to sell and ship. Pedals are a great example. I did up with a point seven string guitar with a Floyd Rose that isn't something I would've picked up for myself. I thought it was worth a good bit more than the item I had. I...
