I need help valuing my brothers equipment. There are 8 guitars and 2 amps but lets start with the amps.

Fender Vibro Champ.. it has tubes and knobs are not up front, they are on top rear. sticker inside dates 2012

Fishman Loude x artist dates 2016

and if anyone suspects the value of a Les Paul made after Gibson made it.. signed by Les himself while playing in a NYC club in the 80's or 90's. Problem is the tuner is broken from the neck and I don't have the broken piece.

my brother was a good friend of Pete Seeger and his wife. Anyone that went to Petes affairs upstate knew David.. maybe you

IMO, priceless. Give it all to a family member who plays guitar or has an interest in music. If you sell, these special items might be ultimately destroyed if the buyer doesn't take proper care of them. But that's just me. I don't really sell musical gear.

Best is to look how is the market in your country. Second hand ads on the web.

Do you what to sell it to a rich japanese by e-bay or hand to hand to your neighborhood ?

I am sorry for your loss.

Here's my take on posting images on the forum's. You must have an image hosting service. Photobucket sucks anymore...they want a bunch of money from you. So after years of using them and perhaps over 1000 images there....I went to Imgur. But there are others. For me Imgur works great and is easy to use, very intuitive.

Upload your images there and once you click on the image you want to post, grab the Linked BB Code at bottom right. I usually select the Huge Thumbnail option under Sizes......before I grab the code or link. This creates a decent size for posting on forums. If you leave it Original, the image will be huge.

Anyway...once you have copied the huge thumbnail link...... just go to the post you want to put the image into and paste it. Voila! You don't have to use the IMG (Insert Image) option on the toolbar.

I wouldn't mind seeing your brothers gear. As far as the tuner.....depending on what is broken.....you can go to StewMac and try find a replacement or even eBay to see if anyone has a set of vintage tuners or whatever to match the age of the guitar. You can even ask here and perhaps a Gibson forum to see if anyone has any tuners laying about....or pop into music stores where they have a repair guy to see if he might have such things in his box of 'can't throw this away, might need it someday' bits and pieces.

What do you mean by "a Les Paul made after Gibson made it"

FWIW, you are kind of close to crossing a line with the forum rules. There is no listing items for sale on this forum. Happy to answer your questions, but as soon as you post an ebay link here, you lose me as a perspective customer.
