Default Guess the price of the guitar played in the following audio clips

I thought this would be an interesting thing to do. This guitar is not mine so it's different than the two I own. Please:

1. Guess the price of the guitar played in the audio clips.

2. Name the songs.

Kind of sounds like an Asian resonator. Do not know the tunes.

Hint: Look at my post history for song names. I probably played it too bad y'all can't even recognize the songs.

My thought is two Towns Van Zandt songs...
1st, Pancho and Lefty
2nd, maybe If I Needed You ?

I'll guess $35... but based on sound I wouldn't pay that much for it at a garage sale.

Ok... Shock me.

It’s out of tune for starters, and not played that well. I hope this isn’t insulting... but given the question/challenge in the post, I figure my comments are in-bounds.

Can’t really put a price on it from this performance. Not enough data to render judgment. Sounds like rosewood back and sides from the sharp overtones, but that’s as far as I can go.

No idea. The first track sounds a little like Pancho and Lefty. The other doesn’t sound like If I Needed You to me.

No idea what the guitar might cost. I agree that it sounds out of tune. The recordings are not a great advertisement for that guitar, if that was the intent.

EDIT: I don’t mean to be harsh. The tone of my response is based on my assumption that the intent of your post was that we’d all be shocked that this isn’t a $2,000 guitar.

It would surprise me if the OP posts much on AGF anymore.

The playing was really good to me and since I’m a rhythm player WAYYYYYY better than I could do! To me, it sounds like my friends old Yamaha that he paid $100 for.

Yes, it’s a little bit outta tune. I used relative tuning so that why. I just checked guitar tuna, and all strings are within +/- 5 range, which is good enough according to guitar tuna.

It’s definitely not played well, I just recorded once so there’s mistake for sure.

See, I’ve been playing for four five years and haven’t been improving for a while. If you can share yours I’d be more than eager to learn from yours, so I can get better.

Nah, not an advertisement. Just wanted to see.
