I wish I could post pics.
You can. A quick search finds the guitar though.. and this isn't a selling platform.I wish I could post pics.
What's preventing you?I wish I could post pics.
This exactly. I'm fortunate to Iive near CME and been able to play a lot of PS guitars. There's been very few, if any, that I wanted to buy. They were great guitars but not my taste or specs I would have gone with. And believe me I tried to convince myself into a couple.One issue with selling a private stock is that it was built to someone's liking. You have to find another person that also likes those options that has the money that is interested in buying it. I saw your ad for it. There are a few things about it that would keep me from buying it and they are options that were chosen for the build.
Unfortunately you can't compare retail prices in the UK to secondary prices in the US. There's the 20% off-the-top to start, as well as the import fees and currency conversions that make things often come in at a significant premium in the UK.I think it will sell.
That’s right in the ballpark of brand new Santana territory for us in the UK.
A brand new core instrument is priced in the £5k mark as well.

The OP's retail price for this guitar was 9k, but he's asking well above half of that for it in a private sale. They didn't buy it new, so it's at best second-hand now. Third hand to anyone who buys it from them.Absolutely understand.
A brand new off the shelf PS is around £10k here, so the asking price for a used PS would be in the region of say half.
I get that I’m not up to speed with the guitar market in the US and pricing.
Hope the OP is successful with his sale.
There is a guitar of the month that I am regretting not buying too.This exactly. I'm fortunate to Iive near CME and been able to play a lot of PS guitars. There's been very few, if any, that I wanted to buy. They were great guitars but not my taste or specs I would have gone with. And believe me I tried to convince myself into a couple.
Now there is this guitar of the month I regret passing on..
Forget what your buddy paid for it new - you traded a $3k guitar for it. And now you're upset that you can't make a huge profit by selling it for $6,700? You could cut that asking price in half, go buy yourself another $3k Custom Shop Strat and still come out aheadI got this guitar in a trade where I got the good end—I thought. Traded a $3k Custom Shop Strat for this guitar if I can’t sell it and buy another Strat
^^this^^Something is only worth what someone will pay for it.
Kinda makes it look like a scam ad TBH.Posting pictures of pictures in your listing isn't helping your cause. As others have said, you should write it up better in the description, maybe take a good photo of the certificate.
