odub Posted September 10, 2007 Share Posted September 10, 2007 I have an Aria Pro 11 IGB-65 in red sunburst A trace Elliot GP7 1x15 amp (green carpet era) An Ibanez Sabre guitar - with says "Custom made" on the neck with a floyd rose floating trem in all black and QM pickups, But I have no idea what any of its worth, any ideas? I have a strict two bass, 1 amp rule and these are sitting there not being used. I can't seem to find many details with google search. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried sticking it/them on Gumtree near you. That was how my TE 122H went in the end. Don't pay too much attention to the BIN prices quoted by [url="http://stores.ebay.co.uk/sms-pro-music"]THIS[/url] guy. He tends to snaffle Trace stuff that turns up on eBay and then shortly thereafter ramp the price up and list it in his eBay store. Of course there is [u][i]NOTHING[/i][/u] wrong with that, it's just business, but having been watching a lot of Trace stuff to try and gauge a price for the 122H I do not think they are really indicative of the true value for a non "trade" sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Jack Posted September 11, 2007 Share Posted September 11, 2007 Assuming good condition and standard pickups, the Aria should be worth >£150, and could go for nearer £250. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snarf Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I've got the 7 string version of the S540, from '91 - mine unaltered would go for about £650. Do you know what year yours is?

Looking at the trace manuals page, it seems to match the "715" (not SM,SMC). It has green carpet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell you what, if I weren't all 6 stringed up, I'd have that off you in a second. I love mine and couldn't part with it. Although, I've decided to upgrade mine - blocking the bridge off, upgrading the circuitry and getting some meaty ass Lundgrens in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odub Posted October 1, 2007 Author Share Posted October 1, 2007 So the one on ebay went for £500, and now there's another, making 3 in total. Weird. Anyway, I've decided to keep mine, bought a tremelo-no for it. Having gone and played some other guitars for a similar price, nothing comes close to it (well nothing comes clsoe to the neck anyway). When super-strats come back into fashion it'll be worth a lot more anyway, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarf Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 A wise decision I'd say. Have you fitted the tremolo-no yet? If so, how you finding it as I'm thinking of getting one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heard good things about it though. Being able to go back to full floating instantly is a boon, last song in the set can involve all the mad whammying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snarf Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Sweet, think I'll definitely be ordering one. Where did you order it from in the US? I have too, I was thinking of taking out the floyd rose, blocking the hole and sticking something else on it but getting one of these sounds a hell of a lot less hassle.
