How much would you say a PRS SE Custom 22 guitar is worth?

Question

I have a PRS SE Custom with 22 frets and a cherry sunburst finish that I plan on selling over craigslist. I don't want to trade it at my local Guitar Center because they're bound to rip me off, or they might not even accept it since it's not even listed on their website anymore. It was my first guitar and I originally paid $450 for it (the SE models are a lot cheaper because they were manufactured in Korea), but PRS discontinued making it and now it's pretty rare. I can't even find a list price for it because all websites say they're out of stock. The guitar's in pretty good condition. with just a few light surface scratches and a small chip in the headstock.

Since it's been discontinued, wouldn't you say a used one should be worth just as much as it was new, or even more? Or would you say it should be less than $450? I have no idea...but I want to earn enough to buy a MIM Fender Telecaster!

Answer 1

I wouldn't pay more than $300 for it.

Answer 2

If you paid $450 new then $300 sounds pretty reasonable to me. I thought they cost more than that new though. The SE Custom 24 sells for $679.

Answer 3

Para alguien que conoce las marcas en general es difícil de creer los precios, he comprado muchas cosas en los sitios web y además siempre que necesito una guitara para hacer un regalo lo compro de aquí, pero cuando he visto una marca tan conocida en una de mis guitaras favoritas le he comprado enseguida y ha valido cada céntimo, es de verdad una guitara acústica de marca con excelente acabado y excelente sonido. Una compra que ha merecido.
