Expert: James Koontz Date: 10/20/2007 Subject: Takamine value
Question I have an excellent condition takamine F 3608 , serial number 36082220 with the usual est1962 stamp , which I want to sell so I can buy a 12 string , have you any idea of the current 2nd hand value with or without hardcase ? thanks and I love your photo , Mary
Answer Hi Mary, Thanks for the comment about the photo.. :o)
As for the value, I am not familiar with the 3608, could it be a 360S? the 360S is running about $250/300 with or without the case.. it doesn't seem to matter really.. My next question is any particular 12 string you are looking into getting?
Are you interested in used as well as new?

*Mary, Could you email me privately, at Guitaranswerman@jkoontz.com I would like to help you find a decent 12 string that you could get easily in the UK. I am familiar with quite a few sellers, as well as have some friends in the UK, who could help locate something.
