After a long time thinking about it, I've decided to sell my 1950s Epiphone Serenader 12 string, FT28 [I think] She's looking her age now, and the varnish is crazed,the action is not what it was either. She needs the attentions of a luthier to tidy her up, but she still sounds AOK, and will make a good axe for somebody, or would go well in somebodys collection. That's it straight from the hosse's mouth. What do you think I should ask for her?

Keep her - you wouldn't get rid of your wife because she was looking her age would you ? Or just because she was "crazed" ? Hmmm...

On second thought - my action isn't what it used to be either.

Do you like the sound ? Or is this a plan to upgrade to something better ?

Decide on a minimum price that you'd let IT go for, and post it on Ebay with that as your 'reserve price'

If ya don't get it, your reserve MIGHT be too high...

Well she just sits in her case, and don't get a lot of work since I bought my D28, and I've got a 5 string banjo waiting for me to learn to play it. I've also got 2 autoharps to cannibalise, and turn into one autoharp. I don't play anywhere except at home now.
