Your information was too sparse to even guess at a value other than as a carcass. <<"Should I let any other clients know it's for sale? ">> Why not? Just be sure that you include any needful caveats as to current condition and needed work, etc...... As a personal matter I really like the older G-5s.......... they normally have a tonal quality that is quite pleasing to my ear and there is no lack of power for most uses........ Re-whatevered this G5 thingee is really a keeper..but that is just my opinion. Jim Bryant (FL)
