Westie's on the rise !

[Greywolf]

I love my cherry Westie and always have my eye out for others .. the prices have been fairly steady in the mid to high 4's until recently . I think the World finally realized how precious they are ... https://reverb.com/item/70363310-pr...n-with-brazilian-rosewood-2008-vintage-cherry

Snagging one of these has been on my radar for a while...can't say the one in Italy is a fair market representation. Anyone wanna give me the money for my new office so I can use use my gear fund to grab one of these and not feel guilty?

 

[shinksma]

Yeah, I should have snagged one when they were much more reasonably priced. These are now out of my reasonable reach.

I have always liked the look of the Westie. I probably would have bought one if it were a 22 fret guitar.

You need a DC-22

Man, those are pricey. I paid $2,750 for my Cherry Westie in 2017 and $3,250 for a Natural Westie in 2020. I sold the Natural Westie to CME for $3,150 in 2022 and they were going to list it at $4,500. The Cherry Westie will be my last guitar out.

It’s nice to learn you have a guitar that is worth more than what you paid for it. Still not close to selling mine - I’m pretty sure Sergio and I are the only ones allowed to own it anyway.

Right, not much than a year ago I almost picked up a Westie for thousands less. This is more of over egregious seller asking price than anything to me.

Completely agree!

I do believe you are correct!

It is missing the little dragon though.

Fair point!

 

[Greywolf]

I'm surprised the KL33's haven't gone up , prices still < 4K for now ...

I've seen this one before, and it looks a lot like the only other one I've seen is the one that @veinbuster has. The only thing holding this one back from being a "true Westie" is the missing baby eagle on the headstock.

Prices on Westies are bananas. I missed out on a mahogany one because I thought it sold, contacted the seller and no response. Bought a different guitar and it popped back up for sale 2 days after.

Really kick myself for missing that one.

Speaking of Sergio, where the heck has he been lately?

WOW those prices are a bit ridiculous but then again PRS guitar prices really shot up all around.
