Since Campellone has been producing guitars for several years, certain models are often seen in the used marketplace. Most guitars that Campellone builds have additional options on top of the base price appointments. Because of this, every Campellone guitar needs to be valued on an individual basis. If the guitar has many of the standard appointments, it will probably sell close to the new price of that model. |
