Value Robben Ford Elite?

I have a chance to pick up a Robben Ford Elite maple top #150, Fender Custom Shop. Any idea what it's worth? Condition is very good to excellent.

I don't know what it's worth, but I'm curious what price you might be able to get it for? What are they asking?

Found it in a pawn shop, he says best offer and won't give me any idea. I told him he may as well ebay it.I'd consider it seriously if I could get a really good deal, just don't know what that is.

Check out this thread:

Bill Morgan, the OP, is well known on the board and although he lives in Japan, he may be able to give you an idea of what it's worth.

I have #120 Ultra Spruce top that I purchased used in excellent condition for $3,800 three years ago. The Ultra is the top of the line and spruce was typically more expensive and highly coveted. I'd would say a Custom Shop Elite is worth between $2,800-$3,500. Just a guess...

I believe that's a good guess. Arnie, if you can get it in that range you'd be doing good. If not, let me know, my buddy would be interested, he has a 1/2 dozen of them already
