Hello Fellow PSG'ers,
I was wondering if you all could help me ball park the value of the 8x5 D10 Derby, Serial# 368. My friend's uncle passed and this was stashed in his house, never left the case. I am hoping to buy it off him but I know these are pretty great guitars so they might be worth more than I can spend. I would be grateful for your opinions. I think he is willing to work with me but I want him to get a fair price.
P.S.- If I buy this I will be looking to sell my ShoBud Professional and my SD10, Dekley Slimline with BL 705
***AND*** I acquired a decent number of records from my friend, including Buddy Emmons Black Album. I intend to sell that one! Keep your eyes peeled if you have any interest.
Thanks everybody

A quick search revealed most of them selling in the $2,400 to $2,900 range. For a D10, the lowest price I could find was $2,200, and the highest was $3,100. An identical guitar to this, SN 0182, was listed for around $2,350 some years ago on the forum, but it was missing a LKL lever.
I kinda like the teal color on this one! |

Sounds like it's like brand new. It's beautiful. Also a great guitar. If I was selling this, I wouldn't think of selling it for less than $3,200-3,500. Just being honest.

| From the picture of the changer end it has split tuning screws on all strings. That may put it at the top of the value list. You would have a lot more choices on tuning setup. |

I have a Derby SD10, and a D10 Emmons Lashley LeGrande (Strayhorn era).
The Derby, IMHO, is on par with the Emmons in build quality, options, fit, finish and tone.
I love them both equally! |

| I bought a D10 about 20 years ago. Still sounds and plays like new. Only replaced a couple of tuning keys. Great guitar. |

| I own a Derby sd10 and d10 . Tremendous guitars , for live and recording. Derby is one of the most underrated brands ( except by the people fortunate enough to own them). |
