james when I was looking last year LPB one like yours was being touted around Â£1250 - Â£1500 and some going for a lot more. Its a sweet guitat and like other have said don't sell unless you need to

Edit: here's the link Coronado II scroll a couple o guitars down.
he's got a sonic blue one further down and a cherry red one for Â£1250.

however, dealer prices aren't street prices, and places on denmark street routinely add 100% on to the actual value of a guitar. if you want to know what something's worth, have a look on vintage and rare, half the price and bob's your uncle.

that sonic blue on is stunning, if i'd spotted that last year I would of tried very hard to get it

That's a pretty good point. I'm about to put aside a bit of money but it probably makes more sense to put aside a bit less and keep this for now.

It's pretty similar to yours minus the scratches so you could use that as a ballpark.

I know where you're coming from if you don't play it a heap, but it would probably be silly to sell it unless you actually need to sink that money into something else as equally permanent and enjoyable.

I hadn't seen that one. Will keep an eye on it.

I'm definitely in 'sell to buy' mode as far as gear is concerned. I've a few guitars to sell (other than the Coronado) and was planning on buying something new once that was done though I'm not sure what, yet. If I sell this I'll put the money into something else but I guess unless there's something concrete (or that one on ebay sells for Â£4k) I'd better off just holding on to it for now. Maybe a sensible plan is to offload the gear that I definitely want to sell, buy something new with the money and see how I feel then.

I still love the guitar, but the majority of time when I pick up something to play it's my bass and I still have hankerings for a Les Paul type.

Yes.

I'm almost certain you'll regret selling it... unless one of us nabs it and uses it and you can see it being put to good use

keep this and your bass, sell your other guitars, buy a les paul type. sorted!

i had an unholy thought there involving me owning two coronados, one red, one blue. think i need a lie down.

If I sell it I'd buy a semi-hollow or hollow MIJ guitar in more of a Gibson style. Assuming I could find it, something like this -

I could always try to find that first, buy it and then sell either it or the Coronado depending on how it compares.

I suppose you're all wondering why I painted mine orange instead of SONIC BLUE. Well, it isn't over yet.

That LPB on ebay is luscious with checkerboard.

Bollocks. Really wanted the LPB coronado on eBay. Went too high for me though in the end

Went for Â£1430 + 25 postage.

I was thinking that being so pristine it would probably go for about Â£200 more than mine would sell for, so I guess by that logic the Â£1200 somebody said earlier was about right.

I want to have the money to buy this from you.

dunno, you might get more than Â£1200 for it after all. the prices of these have really shot up over the past couple of years, i'm definitely hanging on to mine.

Had a cheeky few bids myself. Checked out at Â£800

Too rich for my blood it seems!

Yeah I was bidding on an Antigua one a while back, it went for about Â£7-800 I think. More than I was willing to pay for that finish.

If you are gonna sell maybe you should do it while there are peeps bidding on them? Coro prices seem to be a lot more varied than most vintage guitars.

I think I'll wait until I need the money for something else. There's definitely a good bit of variance in the pricing but they do seem to be creeping up as well.

The colour of yours should push it up a bit too. F**king lovely guitar.

(keep it)
