Hi Sam,

For the Taylor T5z Pro as a part exchange we would offer you £1300.

For the Taylor SB-1 we think it would need to be listed lower that you 
have it up at, around £700-£800 and it should sell without being here a 
long time. With this in mind we would offer £550 in part exchange.

This would be based on you shipping the guitars to us and we would of 
course cover the cost of shipping the Godin to you.

Kind Regards,
Harriet, Phil & Tim
Express Music
