Location: Dundas, Ontario | Hi there,
I just came across a Glen Campbell 12 string acoustic in fantastic shape and I was wondering if there is anyone who could tell me what the year of production is and approximately how much it is worth. The model number is 1118-4 and there is another number above the badge on the inside of the body; 047198 (I suspect thats the production number or something) Anyway, any help would be appreciated. Thanks. |

Location: Canton (Detroit), MI | My 1118 had absolutely no cracks and just the tiniest of finish checks below the bridge. But it had a neck twist, and that undoubtedly kept the price down a bit. Depends on how well the auction was written, pictures, phase of the moon, etc., as far as what they sell for on eBay. Higher than $400 is certainly possible. Slotheads have their own vibe, which could draw more money.
I saw one that was in PERFECT condition sell for $350 a couple of years ago at my local GC....it still took a couple of weeks for it to sell.

I hope it sounds as good as it looks !
Considering it's condition and the price of a reissue, I thought the price was pretty fair. |
