what is my guitar junk worth?

I'm looking at simplifying my life and getting rid of some stuff that's been in my closet since highschool(grad in 97). I know right now is not the best time for disposable income and selling junk, but I have a baby on the way and looking for some help pricing some unused items.. I'll try to describe condition and you hopefully help me decide what prices to ask...

I have a year unkown Les Paul Studio (not Epiphone) Wine red with gold hardware. It had a small crack in the neck/headstock when I bought it, supposedly repaired by a good luthier. I bought it from a reputable music store and while the guitar is not in perfect shape(she's got some scratches and dings) but it plays sooo nice. Comes with a big(read very protective) Gibson plastic clamshell case. I have no idea on worth. I can get pics if you need them..

I also have a crate vintage club all tube combo amp. 50 amp with I believe it's a single 15" speaker in the cabinet. 2 channels and she's never given me any. One small dent on a small metal grill on top.

Also a bunch of stupid pedals I'll a couple DOD one's, one junky ibanez, and a cry baby original.. Everything else is junk.. like cables and books and stuff.. I'm keeping my acoustic and tuner incase I ever feel the itch to pick it up again.

What do you think for values?

Can't put a finger on values, but ballpark, I'm guessing you could get a solid $500-600 out of the guitar and amp in the hands of a good buyer.

The amp is like that but with 1 x 15"

I generally use eBay as a general guide for values (as I see you're already starting to peruse...).

The LP Studio is still in production and generally sells for around a grand on the street (I was jsut in a Guitar Center last Saturday...). The damage, however, could hurt it's value greatly. Even repaired. For example, I have a '71 Les Paul. Normally a multi-$K guitar... however, it also has repaired headstock damage... and even after I get the DPO scalloped fretboard fixed, I think I'd be lucky to get over a grand for it. A Studio (I have one of these as well, but it's an '81) with headstock damage... I'm gonna say $500... tops. Loved that case... pissed when mine got damaged in a basement flood... not water-tight in the least...

A a 1x15" guitar amp? Gonna be a small market for that puppy... sure it's not a 1x12"?

Pedals: basically... go on some online vendor's site and look at current prices... figure on about 50% for used values. I rarely spent more than $20 on a pedal back in the day... and pedal prices haven't seem to have changed much on 20 years...

Good luck... I have a few things I want to unload as well... rack stuff, mainly tho...

Search Ebay for the guitar, find out how much they are going for. I'd figure that you'd get at least 700-800 for the Les Paul. Good fake Les Paul's can go for as much 400 (not even Epi's).

...not for a used Epiphone.

yeah.. it's a 15" speaker.. cabinet is quite heavy.. around 80lbs. At the time It was louder than any of my friends solid state 100's

http://stlouis.craigslist.org/msg/981847954.html <--- there is another one..

I'll get pics of guitar and amp tonight..

Well I'll be damned... good luck with it. Can't imagine what a 15" full-range speaker must sound like... I bet dropped tunings would be brutal-sounding...

ebay knows all.. that's basically my guitar. cept mine has gold hardware and an original plastic gibson hard case.

Yeah, I'd say you should be in about the same neighborhood for the amp, since it specs out similarly to the Peavey Classic series.

Actually, I just picked up a Peavey Blues Deluxe 1x15" (same as their Classics, with built-in tremolo) needing a little work for a song. On a certain level, it's a shame that these amps are so underrated, but at the same time, it's good for us players who aren't brand whores. Not that I wouldn't mind being a brand whore if a rep came knocking with a tidy endorsement check...

Dude, you're so weird.

List your pedals.

I'll dig all my junk out tonight. I'll take pics for fun and post.

The year is going to make a big difference for the LP, even a studio. If you post up the serial I can look it up.

its a 94 by the serial # search engine I looked up..

I took a picture of the serial # stamp on the back of the headstock.... If that didn't work I'll dig it up later today.
