How much is my guitar worth?

[sierraprsn]

Hello,

I own a Larrivee OM-10 made out maple wood. It was manufactured in April 1992. The model # is 12302. It is in good condition with only a few small scratches. I recently had the bridge reattached and one nut replaced. It has ebony detailing. I contacted Larrivee Guitars directly and they said a new guitar like mine today would have an MSRP of $4500. I don't know what I should list mine for. Anyone have any ideas?

The 10 series can vary in how ornate they are. I've seen them eBay for around $1,400 to $1,600 on average but sometimes much more, sometimes a bit less. The last OM10 that sold on eBay was less ornate, in great condition, and went for $1,500.

They are really under-valued, IMO. I recommend hanging onto it because you'll be hard pressed to get anything that good for 1500.  I sold a really high end Larrivee for around that much last year and I feel foolish for doing so. I only did it because I don't like owning too many instruments.

Thanks for the tips!

It would be good to see pic's.  I sold a newer OM-10e for 1800.

Yes, pics would help.  I'm confused about what is meant by ebony detailing and having one nut replaced.  A guitar only has one nut.  Did you mean tuning machine or?

A D-10 was recently sold on this forum for $1500.00, I believe.

So I am new to this guitar stuff. The head plate, fingerboard, and bridge are made of ebony. I will try to get pictures up later today. Thanks

Don't forget the donuts!

Heh,  a few of us take donuts very seriously round these here parts.

Yea, this is going to turn ugly fast if you don't get these fellas some donuts.  (hint, read the forum rules)

With most guitars you get what you pay for. With a Larrivee you get more than you expected. I would only sell a Larrivee to get a better Larrivee. I am holding on to a fancy custom L-05 for my grandson's 14th birthday. Three years to go. Cheeky little sod has his eye on my OM-19.
