I've been offered an SC245 for £1500.00 - is this good value? I'm not sure as not many seem to be sold on!

PRS guitars seem to hold their value very well, that's the sort of price I'd expect to see for a S/H one in a shop.  But maybe a bit pricey for a private sale? 

Assuming it's all in excellent condition.

Cheers PHilly - it's in pretty good condition with a few little marks. It's a guitar currently owned by my guitar sensei (Rob Chapman) -  this has caused me to have some kind of strange feeling of attachement to it so wanted to get opinions from people about price!
I think I hate being indecisive.

Rob Chappers, eh?  :)  I suppose you might want to pay a bit extra for the provenance (as they say on Antiques Roadshow).  But put it another way, I doubt he'd get £1,500 now if he sold it on eBay.

Hell, I'd pay a grand extra to get a guitar that belonged to Chappers.
My last FM.
ESP Horizon NTII.
ESP Viper Camo.

I suppose so - although he has said that he only ever sells guitars to people that he knows. I do believe this as he is a thoroughly likeable and trustworthy man! Not sure if I would pay a grand extra though noodle!

Fender Super-Sonic Head in Oxblood/Cream, with matching 2x12.

I've played through the combo, and it's about my favourite amp I could reasonably justify/afford. head and cab would be much handier, though. and 2 12's is better than 1.

My guitar gas is cured for the moment, I have come to realise I have just about the right number of guitars that they get played fairly regularly and there are soooo many other guitars I want it just seems pointless. Plus I have bonded with the guitars I have so don't want to get rid of any.

Guitar gas has been replaced by mega amp gas however.

I want something to complement my stiletto, I love the amp but it would be nice to have access to some different tones. I am thinking maybe trem-o-verb.

I love the lead tone of the stiletto in fluid drive but I just wish it had a more modern rhythm channel, of course the TOV is probably the opposite of the stiletto. Maybe I will just have to bite the bullet and do Bogner XTC or Diezel, maybe I will wait for the Mark V.

Oh yeah, I really want a Keeley Crybaby but we are totally skint at the mo. :(

Have I rambled enough ?


Sounds like a case of KochGAS to me!

I hate when people do this, but i must;
OFF not OF. It's a completely different word!

£750 doesn't seem like a fantastic deal; at least not £250 less than it should be. Maybe £30-£50 off
