can't find the value of my guitar

[coldbearintake]

Hi Guys,
I have a 1999 Custom 22 mccarty semi-hollow (no f holes) and i have looked high and low for comparable sales so that I can list this accurately.
Serial # is 44339

not sure how i can post pics (i am a new user)

You have to have your photos stored on a third party website, then you can reference them in a post here.

Welcome aboard!

For photo posting, here's a tutorial (it's easy).

Semi-hollows without f-holes are pretty rare birds I believe... For a starting price I'd search out the standard models, then add what you think appropriate. In the end a thing is only worth what someone else will pay for it.

Value on the other hand-- well that's a different topic all together

I would guess low to upper two thousands depending on condition and aesthetics.

Why do you wrap your strings around the tuners backwards?

Now that's a good looking guitar!

One thing I would address right away is the strings; they are currently wound to the wrong side of the posts, creating a much sharper string angle moving away from the nut. A mistake that's easily corrected.

Those Schaller tuning keys... replacements for the old winged locking sets I'm guessing?

Those two things aside, if you still want to sell it-- I'd expect it to go in the low to mid $2000s. But you never know--

I second this emotion.

Nice guitar!

Great looking guitar

That is a tough one. Older, but it looks like it is in great shape. Are the original tuners still around? It won’t make a huge difference, but if you can say they are included in the case it will be a little more attractive. I don’t see anything “McCarty” about that guitar. It looks like a regular Custom 22. Do you have paperwork showing the unique specs for this? It will help set it apart.

No Microsoft account.
And going by what I’m reading, JUST Custom22. NO McCarty in the name.

one of the tuners cracked and PRS told me they dont have spare parts. I believe i kept the other tuners however. do you think this diminishes resale value?

Yes.

What is going on with those strings?

We’ve all seen very horrible acts committed to PRS tuners…
