A local dealer has a "Like-New...never used" Bigsby Volume/Tone pedal from the 60's. This thing is unbelievably clean and new looking. It's like right out of the box! We took off the bottom plate... all original pots, springs, wiring, and mechanisms in SPARKLING MINT condition. It seems that no one ever used this pedal.

The casing is bright and polished and the "Bigsby" logo is cast into the metal in the front. It has the left-right motion for tone and the normal volume pedal motion too. There is absolutely No WEAR anywhere. What do you think this piece is worth?

Well like Vern said he read in a letter from Paul Bigsby>the sell for $55.00
Of course that was 1957; so what ever the slide scale is for that to the year 2000; you'll have your answer.
I've bought one for $150.00 in worse condition; I've bought one in as good condition for $90.00; so I guess I'm saying that it is worth what you will pay for it depending on how much you want it.
If your talking about just the parts and mechanism that makes it work than about $45.00 should do it.

I seem to recall someone on the forum asking over $200 some time ago. Asking. Don't recall how that ended. Actually, I think it wasn't mint--I think he needed that sum to get his $$ back for what he spent restoring it.
