Hello,

I am new in this forum so this is my first question. I know it have been discussed here earlier, but I think it was some time ago.

I may be selling a Fender Robben Ford signature model, made in Japan around 1990. What would be a fair price? I live in Norway but the price level in your country, especially US will help me.

Opinions?

Selling is not allowed, it's a violation against the forum's rules.

I am not trying to sell it here on this forum. I just need some views on the value. I believe similar matters have been discussed in other threads..

If this ain't according to the forum rules, please disregard this thread.

Welcome to the Forum
Is it a Standard, Elite, or Ultra ?

Thanks alain,

I am not sure which model it is. It is made in Japan, late 80's probably. It has the hollow body. I bought it used in 98 and the seller did not specify which model it was, or more likely he didn't know..

Likely an Esprit or Flame. These guitars were endorsed by Robben a few years before Greg Fessler did the USA RF Customs for him.

I think this guitar is a Greg Fessler Masterbuilt.

Greg was Robben's personal master luthier during that period.

This model is japanese made late 80's I assume. According to Fender Greg Fessler started at their custom shop in 1990 and later become the sole builder of this model.
It would be nice, but there must have been someone elses hands on my guitar :)

Then it's an Esprit or a Flame. Robben Ford endorsed these guitars before Greg did the US RF Customs for him in the 1990s.

Discontinued after Robben moved to the Baker Guitars camp.

This is a great site regarding these guitars;
http://www.masterseriesguitars.com/index.html

Based on this my guitar is a MIJ Robben Ford Esprit Ultra, produced between 87-93. I bought it in 96-97..

Looks like mine have a very special colour, can't find similar anywere..

I believe I won't sell this guitar, it is to special.
