Hi guys unfortunately due to circumstance i'll be selling one of my two guitars, i'm not a serious player enough anymore to justify two plus i'm moving more into the acoustic side.
I was hoping you'd help me get a good valuation for them so I can consider which one to keep.

The guitars are as follows

Axis SS,Hardtail,HH, in Trans Gold with maple neck.It has the much talked about neck crack but it's never got any worse since it first appeared 3 years ago, purely cosmetic.It has has a slight dimple behind the 2nd fret about the size of a pinhead,invisible to the naked eye and doesn't affect playing.

Axis SS,Vintage Trem,MM90,Rosewood fretboard in mint condition.

Both have the original hardcases and both are lefties and i'm in the UK.

Thanks for reading:)

Try looking at completed sales on ebay, the value of your guitars will be what the public are willing to pay for them.

There is one guy around here looking for lefties EBMM

as for the price as you are in UK I would say 900£-1200£ cause they are lefties means rarer on the other hand you may have more difficulties to sell them just because they are lefties

Very optimistic I fear. Sadly EBMMs don't hold their value 2nd hand. I paid 800 pounds for a mint ASS MM90 from a UK store, including shipping to Spain.
As a fellow lefty with more money than sense, I'd be happy to see photos.

Thanks, this thread was just to get a bit of advice before I come to a decision but i'll stick some pics up in the next couple of days anyway.

I've been looking at guitars in general for the first time in a couple of years and they really seem to have shot up in value.I remember considering a mexi strat and these could be had for £350 but now you're looking at £450, same with Epiphones,Jackson etc.

Down to the drop in value of the pound I'd suggest. I'm sorry for your financial woes.....I think you'll find these guitars a disappointment after EBMM.
When you research prices, it's well worth looking at what guitars actually sell for, rather than the over ambitious asking prices.
What colour is the ASS MM90??
