Depends where you live, the type of guitar, and the reputation and the quality of work of the repairman. Bound guitars and maple board guitars usually cost more because of the extra labor involved. I've seen prices range from $100-$500+.

300.00 in my area. Doesn't seen to matter if it is bound or not. No idea why.... [img]/images/graemlins/crazy.gif[/img]

There is more labor involved with bound guitars since you have to trim the fret tangs to fit between the binding, plus it is a little harder to clean the gunk out of the slots since you can't just run a slot saw thru the slots like you can with an unbound guitar.
