Question about RGT resale price

[NickCormier]

Hey, Im considering doing some juggling around with my gear before I move, and heres what my dilemnia is..

I am a 7 string player, so I have to have my 7 string and its backup.. Now after that, I wanna have something that I can play acoustically (for outside/etc) and something that I can teach with, so it has to be 6 strings and be able to play normal songs/rock/metal.. So what I was considering, is maybe going with a Jazz box/ hollowbody and instead of having an acoustic and a normal 6 string electric, I could replace both with one guitar.. Soo im trying to think how much that would end up costing, and how I can juggle the money around.. I think I could get 250 roughly for my acoustic.. Then for my RGT

Its a RGT with the red flame maple top, RGT42XFM or something? Anyways, Mahogany body, with EPII, DSonic/Duncan jazz combo, and in pretty decent condition (7/10ish?) with nice HSC.. How much do you think that would go for? I bought it from Ugg here for around $400 shipped, so most ideally is $500 shipped... does that sound right or could I maybe get more for it on **** or somewhere?

I was thinking of getting one of those ibanez artcore's..

I kinda doubt you're going to get $500 for a used MIK RG. Despite the recent increase in Korean quality, they still don't hold their value as much as MIJ stuff.

Those are nice guitars; I took a beating on the one I sold

[NickCormier]

Yah. I dont know if ill sell it for sure, I might try for $500 but if it doesnt go for that, I doubt id sell it for any less

Its actually Tremlo-no'd right now, so maybe that'd add abit more to price lol

Unfortunately mods don't usually add to the value of guitars. You'd get the same amount for it with or without T-no and pickup upgrade, for the most part.

You'd be better off getting a couple V-series pickups for cheap, returning the guitar to stock, and selling the add-ons separately.

I've never seen an RGT42 pull $500. One of my brothers has 3, and they were all under 300, one was 210 or something.

Hate that so much, when I look for certain guitars, they are all so expensive when i want it, then as soon as i buy it, market value goes down some reason =/ When I was looking for this RGT like 5 months ago, they were ALL above 400, even very poor condition ones.. now they cant get that? what bad luck
