Would appreciate any information as to a fair price for a 1952 Gibson Console Grande D-8. From the available photos, both guitar and case appear to be in excellent condition and seller claims to be the original owner. Thanks for looking.

Mass Street Music has one available for $1,500. Without seeing photos of the instrument, I'd hesitate to offer a guess other than by referring to previously sold instruments on eBay and those offered by vintage guitar dealers. Check Gbase.com for the few that are currently available. Otherwise get a copy of the 2009 Vintage Guitar Price Guide and see what they say.

The current price guide lists them at $1400 to $1600, in excellent condition w/original case. That seems a little high though, considering the sluggish economy today.

since Doug mentions the "sluggish " economy, i'm sure y'all have noticed that the final selling prices have been on the way down

here's a CG that sold for 685 $

Thanks to everyone for the information. This one is listed at $1000.00 and looks almost new. I had considered purchasing it to try my hand at non pedal playing, wanted to be able to recover my initial outlay in case it was not for me.
