Maybe someone out there can help with this question.
I have a six string National Clipper lap steel.I'm thinking about selling it, but I do not have any idea what it is worth. It is used and has a few nick,but I am no longer playing 6s. I did a web search and couldn't find one for sale. The local big box guitar shop offered me $500 trade in value, but would give me a "BUY" price.
Help!!
Thanks

GC had one at their Hollywood store for $950 with no case. I know that's too darn high!
My case is a wreck.
Thanks for you input.

Just outa curi-gossipy, does the pickup in a Clipper belong to the same family as the ones in the Dynamic? They look very similar to me--chromed metal cover with slot-head screws atop--I tried the Brad's page but National 'Clipper' has no examples...far as I know.
Oh, and the 3-octave fretboards are almost the same style in each. HMMM[This message was edited by Jon Zimmerman on 26 June 2006 at 10:10 PM.] |
