vfrrich Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Hi all, I've had my H-555 for quite a few years, and have been thinking about thinning the herd. The sale prices seem to be all over the map when I try to figure a fair sale price. What do you recommend as the best approach to determining a realistic value on it?

Jaguarguy Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Here's a link to Reverb's sold listings. https://reverb.com/marketplace?product_type=electric-guitars&query=Heritage H-555&show_only_sold=true Looks like quite a wide spread - $1,800 - $3,500 depending on options. Mid $2,500 appears around the average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vfrrich Posted March 24, 2021 Author Share Posted March 24, 2021 A few more pictures. The only "flaw" I would say is the the binding along the neck has the little cracks at some of the frets which I hear is a common occurrence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gtwibs Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 With that beautiful neck and Heritage current new prices, i'd be looking to get $2500 for sure for that beauty. Also, i'd love to check it out/jam sometime post-Covid since I'm local. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chico Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 "classic" referred to pickups being installed at that time, others will have specifics on the pickups. I had a H150CL and it had Duncan 59s, but I think the two screws on each side indicate you have another type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
