Title: Should I flog my Musicman?
Post by: Matt77 on April 25, 2011, 12:51:08 PM
My Musicman isn't getting much use. I'm starting to think I wouldn't miss it and my wedding is just around the corner.
It's in great nick. It's an Axis Supersport with a natural coloured quilt top. 2 humbuckers and the piezo system.

I thought I'd not get much for it, but if you look on e-bay in the UK people are pricing them around a grand.
I'd assume they are actually looking at £900. I didn't think they were worth much 2nd hand but if they are worth near that this is going. If not, it's staying under the bed
I've not been watching the 2nd market at all recently. What's realistic?

900 quid is a realistic price for an Axis Sport. They are wellmade guitars with superb necks.

Ulp.. Just been working out how much I need to pay for the wedding in the next month. I think regardless of wanting to sell or not it might have to go.
I think the super sports were an extra £150 at the time. I'll look in to it.

Is it hard tail or trem? I think hard tails are a bit less. Why not playing it? I'm sure it's an awesome guitar?

This one is a hardtail.
Great guitar and probably the easiest I have to play. Not sure why I'm not playing it much at the mo.
I like the thought of sticking to just 2 Les Pauls and a strat. Maybe I'll focus more on playing if I own less guitars.
