ambrose33 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Good evening, I just joined this form tonight and have been researching a ton of information. About 15 years ago, I was given my great uncle's 1988 Golden Eagle (Serial #E080030). While my great uncle owned the guitar, he updated the pick ups and I am currently looking for to purchase the original pick ups. Also, I am trying to get an appraisal for this guitar. From my short research I'm guessing the value of this guitar is between $4,500-$5,000 (I want all my equipment insured). Lastly, I am looking to purchase a 1999 H-150 (serial #P17802) from a local music shop for $900. This price seems to be listed lower then what I've seen these guitars valued at......I've tried to research a current value on the guitar but I've only been able to find +/- two to three years worth more. Thanks for any information that can help me.... - Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavesNotHere Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I can't speak to the GE,others here are more knowledgeable, but if there are no issues with the 150, buy it! That is a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houndhome Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 I have a 1988 Golden Eagle,serial E00201,and reg. no.103 of the first 1000,which I've owned for about 4 years and paid £1500 U.K. for it.I would expect U.S. price to be lower,since easier to find.Mine is an acoustic GE fitted with a K&K pickup on the underside of the top. I would not expect the price to vary much because of the year of production,nor would I have thought that prices have increased in the U.K. in the last 4 years,not sure about U.S. My H150 is a 2004 H150CM Ultra in natural with HRW pickups which I bought from the US in almost mint condition around 3 years ago and paid $1425 for (+to me shipment and import taxes).Even with the extra cost to the UK I still think this was a great deal for a rather special guitar.

Gitfiddler Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 According to The Official Vintage Guide Magazine price guide; 1999 Golden Eagle $2400-$2900 and 1999 H-150 $1250-$1550. While the H150 price range seems close to market, their Golden Eagle prices seem very low. Depending on condition, I'd think they should be worth as much as $3k -$4k depending on options and condition. The OP should take a look on Ebay 'sold', as well as check Reverb asking and selling prices for each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
