Gretsch Dorado 6025 classical guitar - value?

[solo4652]

Hi,

I have a Gretsch Dorado classical guitar, Model no 6025, made in Japan. Bought new for me in the late 60's/early70's - can't quite remember exactly when!

It's not been played for 30 years. In excellent condition, still with the original strings, I think!

I play bass now, so I'm thinking of selling the Gretsch. Anybody know how much it might be worth? What's a good website/forum to advertise it on - sort of Basschat for classical guitars?

All information gratefully received. I have some pictures, but can't work out how to post them here, if anybody's interested. Or I could e-mail them to you. Probably.

Regards,

Steve

I've done a bit more research. Looking at the shape of the headstock, and the 1971 Gretsch catalogue, I think it may be a 6028. See [url="http://gretschpages.com/history/memorabilia/1971-dorado-catalog/"]http://gretschpages.com/history/memorabili...dorado-catalog/[/url]

Any body know how I might be able to get an honest market value for it, please?

You could try these two UK dealers who specialise in acoustics...

But unfortunately I don't think it's worth a fortune - though maybe of interest to a Gretsch collector?

Honestly, if you want to sell it and make some money, i'd wait until the recession is over.
