Quand même pas donné...

C'est un excellent instrument, y'a qu'à écouter FredK et Paolo en jouer sur YouTube, ou encore Jerry Douglas. Mais ça peut se trouver aux alentours de 500$US sur eBay...

1300 euros, c'est au moins le double du prix...
Tant qu'à investir autant, y'a des Asher.

Oui - overpriced indeed. But RF Charle in Paris had a New Yorker they sold for €1,300, I think, so it's up to what people are willing to pay. I have been lucky with my New Yorkers - very good price and well functioning guitars. I love my 1937 New Yorker so much that I would consider it worth €1,300 if that was what they cost. I bought mine on eBay for $470 plus shipping (about $660 with shipping and tax/duty included), which was a real bargain, and lucky, as the seller didn't present it so well. The following day, another 1930s New Yorker sold for $970 - more than twice as much!

I Love your two gems... I've seen they made 8 strings too. Is the chicken head knob a tone knob? or as you say on youtube a pickup selector?

On the 1937 model (which has three pickups) it is a pickup selector switch, on the later models it was a three-way tone control.

I just wrote a little "National New Yorker history" thread on the Steel Guitar Forum (I blame it on Bob Brozman's National book!!! ).

A plus,

hi

the man that sold this lap told me that i bought it at R&F Charle shop some times ago and don't want to loose money. he also say that if no one want to buy it via the paper i'd put it on e bay.
maybe in some weeks?

i think it's expensuve too. itold me about color on the fretboard, so it must be the same that you show on the right of the photo.

bye

Salut!

Oui - I remember when that guitar was on the RF Charle website, and it is a 1947 model like the one to the right on my pic (but with a black fretboard). I think the best thing for this guy to do would be to sell it back to RF Charle as they seem to be very good at selling guitars for very high prices.

A plus,

Fred

hi fred

the seller told me about this solution, seems to be the bets one.
