2014 traditional

[mrBrianc]

Hey guys, I'm considering selling my 2014 traditional again. the guitar is mint and hardly played. is there a market for them right now and what might be a good asking price? Thanks for the input in advance

From what I've seen here and other places Traditionals are selling pretty well right now.

Depending on year model, colors, condition, etc, the avg is around $1,400- $1,700 or so, give or take for used ones.

2014 traditional all stock in mint condition in honey burst.

To get a better idea, check for the same on Reverb and a few other sites and see how much they are listed for.

I'd say on the lower end of the above range since many people don't want that 12th fret inlay.

I had a faded SG i got cheap that had that and it drove me nuts for some reason.

 

[Rotorhead]

Yeah, it has limited appeal

The pickups in that guitar are gold. My biggest regret selling my 2014 was that I didn't keep the pickups. Took me 2 years to track down another pair.

Use that to your advantage when selling. Or...consider keeping those pickups. I think they might fetch a good penny someday.

The whole 12th fret inlay thing is a shame... because other than that 2014 should have been a banner year for the Trad. Non-weight relieved, fat 50s neck, 59 Tribute pickups. I had a 2014 and in pure stock form it had tone in spades, but I do have to admit, the longer I owned it, the more that dang 12th fret inlay grated on me.

That said, to the OP's question... honestly, $1300 if you want to sell it in a reasonable time. IMO (from watching the Member's Classified here, reverb, CL, etc., anything priced much about that tends to sit. There's a market glut of LPs out there, you gotta make yours stand out by giving people a deal. At least IMHO, YMMV, WAFH, etc.

thanks everyone. on ebay and reverb they are all around 2000.00 or more. If I do decide to sell I won't want to sit on it for long but won't want to give it away either. I sold my 2013 slash vermillion a while back and regret it every day and hope I won't feel the same with this one. Are the newer trads just as good where I could always buy a newer model later?

You will regret selling your 2014. I may be prejudiced since I own one but I can't see Gibson making anything better in the future.

 

[mrBrianc]

that's kinda what im afraid of. the inlay does not bother me one bit and I think it sounds amazing

2014 Traditional for $2000 or more? Wow.

So you must be selling it because you barely play it?

 

[musicmaniac]

$1250-$1450

 

[Lightningflash]

The realistic price to expect is $1400 to $1600...unless there's something special about yours but that inlay is a negative to buyers, like it or not.
