solo4652 Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Hi, I have a Gretsch Dorado classical guitar, Model no 6025, made in Japan. Bought new for me in the late 60's/early70's - can't quite remember exactly when! It's not been played for 30 years. In excellent condition, still with the original strings, I think! I play bass now, so I'm thinking of selling the Gretsch. Anybody know how much it might be worth? What's a good website/forum to advertise it on - sort of Basschat for classical guitars? All information gratefully received. I have some pictures, but can't work out how to post them here, if anybody's interested. Or I could e-mail them to you. Probably. Regards, Steve
solo4652 Posted July 28, 2008 Author Posted July 28, 2008 I've done a bit more research. Looking at the shape of the headstock, and the 1971 Gretsch catalogue, I think it may be a 6028. See [url="http://gretschpages.com/history/memorabilia/1971-dorado-catalog/"]http://gretschpages.com/history/memorabili...dorado-catalog/[/url] Any body know how I might be able to get an honest market value for it, please? Steve

budget bassist Posted July 28, 2008 Posted July 28, 2008 Honestly, if you want to sell it and make some money, i'd wait until the recession is over.
