77ish Halifax LP Questions

77ish Halifax LP Questions

Just picked up this 77 Halifax LP Deluxe (bolt on) at a local shop. I’ve been looking for a Greco version of this but I ended up buying this on a whim and I’m feeling some remorse as I actually don’t know these are worth. I’ve always trusted the guy at this shop but he kinda talked me into it saying this is basically an Ibanez yada yada and that they usually go for more and boom I handed him $1400….looking for some advice on the value of this thing, and if it’s not worth anything near that how I can go about exchanging it or something. I will say it plays great and sounds awesome though.

I have owned many Charvels through the years, but these are the ones I've hung on to. The light colored ones have been my #1s, the black ones have been backups, and the other two have stayed at home.

Help ID this old guitar

I was hoping someone would recognize this 30+ year old guitar. Other than the country of manufacturer there are no identifying marks. My local guitar shop did not know so I thought I would try Reddit. First post. Thanks in advance!

What is the current tariff situation when importing from Japan to US?

Have you guys bought from Japan recently and what percentage did you pay for tariffs ?

I paid 15% recently was wondering if that was standard.

This here is my pride and joy! I don’t mean to get into a whole story time but this one belonged to my uncle.

He was given it by my aunty in the 90s for their anniversary. He basically didn’t play it, and when i started showing more interest in music (2017 ish), he gave it to me. It absolutely blew me away and has been my prized possession since.

His only word was that i was never to sell it.

I don’t see much about these guitars being posted, so thought i’d share!

Anyone got one?? I lowkey need help with fixing the pickup in it.
