My husband has a 1953 Telecaster that he wants to sell. It was passed around to us through the family. We have NO idea what a fair price is for this. He's going to talk to a vintage guitar dealer tomorrow and we are so scared of getting ripped off. A friend of his who works in a guitar shop looked it up and said it's worth around $8000. But I've been searching the internet and I see them listed from $40,000 to over $75,000. How do we know what it's worth? If anyone has any advice for me I would LOVE to hear your opinions. I know that right now we have big glowing neon "sucker" signs on our foreheads and I want to get some information so that maybe I can turn those lights out.
Thanks!!
