Thinking of parting with my rare 540 PTC. It is the five alarm red. Most likely going to put it up on eBay. Being as rare as they are and I’m located in the US what do you think they are worth in good condition?

I had to look it up, since I had no idea what guitar you were talking about. Interesting... and pretty rare I guess! Saw one from an older Reverb sale, might help to get an idea of where to price yours:

Good luck!

Thank you for showing me that. I’m wondering how old that is, I paid nearly double that when I originally acquired this guitar. Definitely not a fan of the color of that one. LOL.

I've seen references about them going for more... like in this older Jemsite thread:

I would think that just being the five alarm red color would make it worth more too... That other one wasn't the most attractive color! If yours is in great condition it might be worth more to a serious collector too.
