Vintage guitar Francesco Olivieri

Dominik

Hello,

I have a vintage Francesco Olivieri guitar.
Any idea what it is worth? Maybe be interested to sell

Dominik

oh boy... that's $12k
If that's the case i better clean it and get a case for it.
It's definitly a beauty. no cracks.

I will email The Fellowship of Acoustics and see what they say. Thanks!

Here is the answer from Rudi @ The Fellowship of Acoustics.

That’s a nice guitar alright, well you know it’s my guitar, but the value is very difficult. What can I say, yours is black. Mine isn’t..
They are very good sounding guitars, and considered very rare..

One more thing, it’s said that he only made some 25 guitars and they are considered very highly.

Be aware though that the Fellowship of Acoustics does tend to set high prices; if they are asking $12k chances are the price in the real world would be $6k. I am not putting them down, they do have some fine instruments, and they do sell their stock (eventually), but from what I have seen their asking prices (which is not necessarily what they sell for) are roughly double the average dictated by the rest of the market. Still an Olivieri is going to be rare, so you never know, there may be a collector out there who is willing to pay.
