I think my vote would be for the 2 blonds. That 535 is just oozing vibe. The Golden Eagle seems to be a transitional guitar. It still has the bridge base with the birds inlaid . . . but the neck binding is only 2 layers of WBWBW. Must be an '06 or '07 model. I wish I could get a better look at the back. It's definitely beautiful .. . . and a guy can never have too many beautiful Golden Eagles in his stable.

that is a nice selection for a shop to have...looks like their prices are a little on the high side?

That's likely just their "room to negotiate" price. ... but there's only one way to find out..... :evil5:

Hauer Music in Dayton, OH.

 

It's about 15 mins from me and where I take my guitar lessons. Jim Hauer is on the high side but can be talked down (sometimes). Those are his "retail" prices.

 

And yes, that is my old Golden Eagle that I couldn't give away for $2500 here. He bought it from me for that price. I originally got it in a multiple instrument trade.

 

The 575 Spruce Mahogany looks a little primitive & rough to me.

 

The missing pic of the Sweet 16 Natural, is the one I'd like to have of the bunch.

 

Oh, and I forgot to mention all of those guitars except the 555 are USED. They are mostly dead mint but used. Again, don't let the prices scare you, he will deal. Throw out my name, it might help.

John, if you think those prices are high, the nearest Heritage dealer to me charges the following prices:

 

H150CM - £2000

H535 - £2400

H170 - £2700

H555 - £3000

Everybody knows "Blonds are More Fun". Just ask JFK (my idol).

That's got to be High End Guitars, what an ironic name ;) Justin's a great guy but he won't haggle :(

Wow, if it is High End Guitars, he's increased his prices dramatically since last year - I got my 535 for £1800. I just looked at the website and I see he doesn't put the prices on the pics. Perhaps it's a case of "If you have to ask the price you can't afford it."!

I only know of two Heritage dealers in the UK - High End in Nottingham and Jam Guitars near Bristol.

 

High End have a good selection but they're not cheap.
