Guitar value help

[Mist4h20]

Hiyaaaa, I'm just wondering if anyone can give me any idea on what my guitar is worth as I am considering selling it for an acoustic.

It's an Ibanez RG440P but it's been converted to left hand so I'm wondering how this affects the value? Is in very decent condition, any general ball park ideas?

It really depends on you. Saw one recently selling for R2500, but it needed some attention.

But that's obviously not left hand converted hey? Just wondering if it lowers the value and by how much

No not left handed. But can't see why it will impact the value if it is still in good condition and perfect for a left handed guitarist. Might even boost the value!

Okay thanks for the input, much appreciated!

The Facebook guitar groups are pretty good for gauging values. No guarantee that the stated price is what it sold for in reality but worth a look.

There is an unwritten rule that any Les Paul, of any vintage and any condition costs R35000+
Also, that what are clearly played and secondhand guitars contain the bizarre description, 'still new'.

Being left handed should give it a higher value and a much smaller buyer pool.
My brother is left handed and his guitars have always cost a fortune to buy vs the right hand equivalents.
