TomĮDIT: I JUST now noticed yours has the tonemaster on it also (plus dual pups, mine are spaced closer).
is what a Dealer would give you.mine valued higher because of it being a Blonde finish, and (I guess) the NOW more popular 6 string with the tonemaster wheel. If you can, do some more research on your 8 string as far as Value goes.you may just find a buyer willing to pay what the Instrument is worth (by the case I see it's a '50s model, along with the finish).you can also call Elderly Instruments (1-88) and they will take the time (and will look over any pic.' you can send) and get you REAL close as to exactly 'what' it's worth.IMHO $600. I'm NOT putting down partscasters, as I have a couple that were made with 'Fender Licensed' parts (that's why they make 'parts' I guess.LOL).it's just the guitar has to be beyond repair before I will tear it down, and part with most parts. BUT, alas I'm a true 'Purist', and the chances of me parting out ANY Instrument that is in playing condition (especially one in the condition of my/this Console Steel cosmetically/functionality) is just NOT going to happen, I would rather starve first or simply give the whole thing away. Another steel guy up here offered to buy my tuner's/tray and the legs (these old ones are the old 'thread specific' type, where as you have to have the sleeve as well as THAT specific leg for it).these also bring a pretty good dollar. I checked eBay on closed/sold listings back then and he was right, the cases were bringing $350.-$500. he had told me that the market is growing for these old Fender 'Console' Steel's (the proper term), as they've even crossed over into Rock and Metal.and NOT just for Country anymore, and my pups could also be used in a Tele., he also told me that these are worth FAR more 'as parts' than together, parts value is about double. At the time he had been receiving several request for these (especially the 6 string, E tuning is what these are made to be played in). from a Vintage Dealer a year, year and a half ago (mines Blonde, pretty much a 9 out of 10 condition wise as well as the case). Dual 6 (early '60s) with original 'tonemaster' tone wheel, and was offered $700. ^^^.mad dog has the Value about right on, I have a Pro.
