Honestly, if it was the Korina, I’d said $8-$10K.

If you could get half that amount, I would say "SOLD"! (if you wanted to sell it).  $8-10K would be the most expensive Heritage ever sold by more than two times.

I sold my archtop Golden Eagle Florentine cutaway (1 of 5 or so made)  that was dead mint for well under $4K.

But no one plays those big ol' gals.  The new H575 retails prices are up in the $4.5K mark, but the equally priced Custom Cores outsell them.  Rarity doesn't equal demand.

I would imagine the H357 would sell instantly at $4-5K.  I know people actively seeking one that are willing to pay now.

My final post on the topic is this; 

I mentioned selling my Golden Eagle for under $4K because Jazz guitarists are used to paying a lot more for their archtops than solid bodies.  So if I couldn't get $4K for mine, what makes you think rock guitarist are going to pay $8-10K for a H357.

Also, aren't you just verifying my post saying that an H357 would go for $4-5K and rarity doesn't equal demand?   But no one is going to pay $8-10K.  If you guarantee me a sale at $8-10K, I'll offer anyone here $6500 for theirs and make a quick $1.5-3.5K.

 
I sold a Sweet 16 Custom for $5499 and that’s the highest sale I ever had on a Heritage. 
It is all about finding the right buyer. He is a professional Jazz player in the New York area and knew what he wanted and knew the Heritage tradition of their jazz boxes. Loves it!

There is no right answer on this. I paid $3600 for a completely one off Marvbird. That is one I’ll never sell. 

 
Good to see the "LOL," Josh.  That was, after all, my intent.  Love that big ol' box!

LOL, you're certainly not a no-one and well versed on the fretboard.  

My comment was a bit harsh, perhaps I'd say not as popular for many guitar players out there.  Not a mass appeal, but does have a place in the world.

My favorite Marvbird that I ever saw was that one Eljay picked up at the factory. I can say that "I was there" to see it in person. Stunnning.

 
Yeah where is @eljay
Anyone heard from him since PSP?

He said he was doing a bicycle race in the mountains, hope it went well.

If memory serves Heritage lost his order for this guitar.  He asked Marv about it at the first PSP.  This photo was from the second PSP.

Don't think they actually lost the order, Bird.  But it was a long time in the making...something like fifteen months.  They were just getting their act together after the fire.  And Daniel, it's a stock Super Eagle, except for the pickups.  Those are Lollar P-90's.  I spec'd the details on the almond burst finish by sending some pics.  They nailed it.  It looks nothing like the color pic.  Red stage lights completely wash out the colors and the gradations of the burst.  There aren't many P-90 Supers floating around.  Marty Grass may have a better idea than I do, but I don't think there are ten of 'em, total.  And Ren wasn't happy about doing it because he had to fabricate just-right shims for mounting the pickups.  I really like those knobs because I don't have to look at them at all, on the fly.  I know the sweep, and I just have to feel where they are within the 275-or-so degrees.
