So i am having a lot of trouble trying to find out any bit of info on a heritage guitar that i have had for many years now. I got it at a local guitar store about 7 or 8 years ago and never really found out what it was. Anyways the guitar has aged very well you can see the lines in the paint so it is definatly from the 80's. The serial number reads " E20102 Made in Kalamazoo, MI USA". I took the back plate off that covers the pots and it had a sticker with a model number on it that says "H167 White" im still unsure if the 7 is a 7 or a 9 the writing is a little hard to tell. Other than that the guitare is in really good shape minus on ding in the body. It has grover tuners and a kahler tremelo system. What i really want to know is how rare this guitar is and what year it was made and how much it is worth or would be worth in the future. Below are some pictures (sorry for the crappy quaility) I will upload some hi res photos once i find out more info. This guitar may be for sale once i find out if it is valuable.

 

Any helkp or suggestions would be much appreciated, I figured someone on this site would hopefully know something about this guitar, thanks!
