Yamaha Weddington Watch, Oct. 2008

Yamaha Weddingtons bought and sold in recent months

I realize I haven’t put much effort into tracking Yamaha Weddington sales on eBay recently.  I’m not sure why this is, but I suspect I’m content with the red Custom I picked up this past summer.  I’m really happy with this guitar and less inclined to look for others.  (Not that I would be distraught if another Weddington—perhaps a Classic os Special—darkened my door.)

Still, I do watch the auctions and thought I would mention some that changed hands recently.

In September, this quilty-topped Classic sold for $1259.99.  Not bad for a soft economy and decidedly buyers’ market for guitar.  In fact, I find it interesting the winning bid especially interesting given that many of the boutique guitars I track on eBay never receive a single bid.  Apparently Weddingtons were holding their value in September.\

In October, this cool sparkley black Classic sold for $827.98.  Not a record, but still not bad.  I’m left to wonder if it was the condition (just a few love bumps) or color that keep the price down.  Personally, I think something like this would be a great gigging/practicing/take-it-to-lessons axe and the only reason I didn’t jump in was because I just picked up an uber-cool PRS Cu22 Soapbar.
