strumsilly
Well-known member
My boat motor quit, have plenty of ukes but only had one motor, so thinking of selling this '63 Gibson Baritone. I guess they are somewhat scarce, seen 2 on ebay, but don't think the prices are realistic, this one has been on forever.

Mine has extensive finish checking, but only one small crack and a few deep dings on the heel.the crack is about 2 inches long and stable, it is under the heel block and may not even go all the way through. other than the bridge lifting up on the corners, because the top is bowed up beyond bridge, and the mismatched peg, it's in good shape. the one on ebay seems to have the same bridge/top problem, so maybe this is typical, anyone know?
I had it strung up with Southcoast linear and it sounded and played great. Took the strings off to clean it and the c string is too short to go back on so I'll have to look around for other strings.
Anyway looking for advice on how to price it. There was one other on ebay for BIN $999, don't know if it sold. that still seems high. just looking for a fair price, good for me and the buyer. comes with newer HSC.
