As new Carter S-10 price ballpark?

Post by Jonathan Neher »

Hi,

I have an as-new (never been out of the studio)
Carter S-10 (Blue) with the "standard" 3 by 5 setup."
It has a TrueTone single-coil pickup on it but
also comes with the original Alumitone pickup
that it came with.

I'm taking pictures and will post an ad soon but in the
meantime, can someone tell me what a fair price to
ask for it is?

Thanks for any advice you can give me.

I'd say $1500-$1800 would probably be in the ball park, as most used (standard) S10 Carters sell for under 2 grand.

My personal, unsolicited $.02 opinion :wink: is that Carter guitars are way undervaluedby the marketplace, currently.
My rig: Infinity and Telonics.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

Yes Herb, I agree with you on that. The Carter guitars are great playing guitars.
