Lakewood D32 Custom — Value?

What's Hot

Hi Folks,

I have a Lakewood D32 Custom which I bought around 2003. It's been very well-loved, played, and toured (been in a few notable hands and venues over the years!).

But the time has come for it to go to another home, as I'm not playing acoustic.

It's got a little play-wear and has had a headstock crack which has been repaired by a professional luthier.

I'm trying to value it… it was around £2500 in '03 IIRC.

But they come up used so rarely that it's hard to assess.

    looks like they're around the same price new,  now   -  around £2300.   

    Not sure what the age, the repair and whatever the "custom" appointments will do to the "value"
    just because you don't, doesn't mean you can't

    If as @bertie says, around £2300 new now, then £1150-£1300? Maybe the lower end of that.

    :)

    I think Lakewood are very good guitars, but for some reason they are slow to sell second hand. I'd agree £1300 seems about right.
