Garage Sale Robertson?...Help, lol...

[fastharry]

Hi Guys...

yes, I'm a 62 year old newb...thought I would ask for your help just to make sure this is NOT a real robertson or something worth anything...Coming to you as 60's slot cars are my thing, not guitars...

but I figured this guitar was worth the 20 bucks real or not,,

Can you help me ID'ing it?



thanks

Harry

Never heard of Robertson, but it looks to be an inexpensive Asian made classical guitar.

I see nothing obviously wrong with it, so if the action is good and it stays in tune then it's well worth a twenty dollar bill.

There IS a hand builder named Robertson, but this is clearly a factory-made guitar, not a custom made guitar.

It doesn't matter, though, it looks as though it's in perfectly good condition, so it's worth $20, easily.

Lost cost old classicals are great for folk music. $20s heck yeah.

Still have mine - Classic Asp (second series - the gold one), Classic Serpent (both with the Mabuchi 26D motor), Cox cast-magnesium chassis Ford GT (rebodied as a Chaparral coupe), and Cox red plexi 8-ohm controller (w/original alligator clips - never converted to TRS plug); haven't run them in almost 50 years - found an old track in Brooklyn that's still in business on a limited schedule, so I just might pull them out for one last run...

Thanks guys....just wanted to make sure I wasn't selling one of the early handmade jobs.....

I picked up an 80's Martin Sigma (still tagged believe it or not) for 10 bucks...so I am keeping that one to learn to play and will sell this one..

Can you give me some guidance on what to ask...Don't want to rip anyone off...


thanks

Pay it forward... $20?

[Wade Hampton]

It'll sell for $50 almost as quickly as it would for $20 or $25. I'd ask $50. You've put some time and effort into it, might as well let it pay for a good lunch for you.
