Default Vintage guitars

Hey Gang,
I am helping a friend sell a vintage guitar her husband owned and was wondering if anyone had any advice to offer that might be helpful. I looked online and found a local guy who has a wide presence selling and buying vintage guitars. Wondering if anyone had ever bought/sold anything from him?

https://www.lawmanguitars.com/

I understand that they need to make money and will probably offer less than it is worth and then flip it. Just hoping to get a fair price for both my friend and the buyer.

The guitar is a 1966 Gibson ES 330 TD(iced tea burst) and is currently in the hands of a local luthier getting cleaned and set up.

Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.

TIA

Danno

Don't know that dealer. Here are some comparable prices:

Elderly Instruments is a great place to consign vintage instruments. I would go that route before you take a beating on selling it at wholesale price to a dealer.

Willie's American Guitars here in St. Paul is a good one too. Nate sold my '63 Jazzmaster for me at more than I thought I could get. Their fee was 22% then.
