A very dear friend of mine died last year, and his wife has asked my help in valuing his guitars -it came as a shock to me to realise he had so many, and those were not the only instruments he has accumulated. Your general advice would be appreciated -I enclose what she has written -I would suspect that the guitars are in A1 condition, but some are difficult to find and some are ambiguously described -however a ball-park second hand figure is what she is after. I have already said that should she auction them the auction house would probably take 20% of the selling price, and a dealer might do similarly -this is therefore to try to ensure she is not ripped off. I appreciate your help
