    Well, are you at uni?
    Do you have top up fees, etc to pay for?

    Give us a little bit about your background, and we will give you some ideas, or you could just give it to me :D

    Put it in a Roth IRA. With the US going at the rate it is, you'll need it at 65.

    I'd go with rtt and buy the 12" PB. I don't see the point in saving money that you could be using to enjoy yourself until you're retired cause you've got your entire career ahead of you - plenty of time to build up some funds.

    Hardly free money, that's just releasing equity.
    I suggest that you save it to do something special, after all a new toy loses it's charm pretty fast.

    Just wandering, if you've got a guitar that's worth that much, why sell it? Are you giving it up completely or do you have others?

    Spend ~half and save the rest; couple of hundred quid/dollars can come in useful in emergencies.
