Stevemarshall Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I bought this guitar a while back from the store where I teach (guitar) and I'm not sure what model it is. I found the key that states that it was built in 1991 designated by the "H" at the beginning of the serial number but that's all I really know. Any idea what it might be worth? I'm wondering how good of a deal I got. Any info will be most appreciated.
Stevemarshall Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 Not sure why my pics went all sideways and stuff...
H Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 Looks like either a 150P or a 150 Special - dots instead of traps on the fretboard are the giveaway. Look on the inside of the control cover plate (the one behind the pots), that normally has a sticker with some useful info on. As to pricing, you'll need to wait for a US member to chime in, I'm in the UK and we pay around a third more for US guitars than you do My guess would be around $900 - $1000 but I could be off. Still, that looks like a nice guitar! welcome to the HOC
Millennium Maestro Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 I am sure it is a 150P, but do look at the inside of the control plates for more information... You have a stock guitar, It has Shaller pickups designed to be traditional vintage humbucker sounding along with shaller bridge and tailpiece(Which I really like for functionality) I hate to speculate price... I have seen this model sell in the 500s and up price range, I see great deals on the upgraded 150cm starting around $1000... yours looks to be in good condition. So my guesstimate is in the 650-750 fair market value. THe "P" in the model stands for poplar wood. If it is a special model it will be mahogany and more valuable... Enjoy you girl, she looks very sweet!
Millennium Maestro Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 PS. Is it light and does it have a skinny neck! It would be really cool for someone to dig up Brents customized Silverburst 1 pics... He really did a cool job with his.

Stevemarshall Posted September 25, 2013 Author Posted September 25, 2013 Hey!! Thanks for all the info. It's about 8 lbs and I'd think that the neck is skinny compared to most Les Paul's that I've played.
Guest HRB853370 Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 If it is a special, the rim width will be a little less than a regular 150.
bolero Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 how do you guys know it is not an H140 2nd edition? don't they look like that too? inside the control cover it may have a sticker that tells all!!
Millennium Maestro Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 how do you guys know it is not an H140 2nd edition? don't they look like that too? inside the control cover it may have a sticker that tells all!! the year is a dead give away for that it way predates that model
PunkKitty Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 If it's a 150P, it's a awesome guitar. I regret selling the one I had.
bolero Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 the year is a dead give away for that it way predates that model ah....good eyes!! it's an "H" serial right?
H Posted September 25, 2013 Posted September 25, 2013 ah....good eyes!! it's an "H" serial right? Yep, the OP states the year and letter on the serial number.
Stevemarshall Posted October 1, 2013 Author Posted October 1, 2013 Found this under the control cover. Thanks for the heads up guys!!
