I think it is in low excellent to high average condition. It was my grandfathers. I am not selling it but was wondering about the value.
ANSWER
Hi, Traci--
Here is the only information in the Blue Book about Palmer guitars:
Instruments currently produced in Asia since the late 1980s. Previously distributed by Chesbro Music Company of Idaho Falls, ID, and Tropical Music Corporation of Miami, FL.
Both the Chesbro Music Company and Tropical Music Corporation distributed Palmer brand acoustic and classical models. These models are geared towards the entry level or student guitarist.
During the late 1980s, Palmer offered instruments were entry level solid body guitars that feature designs based on traditional American designs. Solid body models were marketed under the trademark (or model designation) of Biscayne, Growler, Baby, and Six. The Biscayne trademark is still distributed by Tropical Music Corporation. Palmer acoustic guitars are usually priced in the used market between $75 and $250.
**I also did some research on the internet and could find no mention of Palmer acoustic guitars except from others wanting information.
Best Wishes!
