There are Jedson geeks who will pay a fortune for the Matsumoku-built Les Paul copies, the "proper" Telecaster clones & some of the acoustics. This bass was sold branded as Jedson & a few other names but most were unbranded. They're pretty well-made as it happens & I'd quite like one to match my guitar version of the same thing! J.

pete.young Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Not on the bay and no pictures, but does anyone know anything about an acoustic guitar maker called Sagadia? A shop local to me has a '70s six string, looks like a 000 Martin copy with nice binding etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Annoying Twit Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 I'd say this is worth about £350. I made an offer of considerably less, which was turned down within seconds. If anyone is thinking of buying it, hopefully my lowball offer may have prodded the seller a few millimetres towards reality.
