Heritage Golden Eagle & H-150

[ambrose33]

Good evening,

 

I just joined this form tonight and have been researching a ton of information. About 15 years ago, I was given my great uncle's 1988 Golden Eagle (Serial #E080030). While my great uncle owned the guitar, he updated the pick ups and I am currently looking for to purchase the original pick ups. Also, I am trying to get an appraisal for this guitar. From my short research I'm guessing the value of this guitar is between $4,500-$5,000 (I want all my equipment insured).

Lastly, I am looking to purchase a 1999 H-150 (serial #P17802) from a local music shop for $900. This price seems to be listed lower then what I've seen these guitars valued at......I've tried to research a current value on the guitar but I've only been able to find +/- two to three years worth more.

 

Thanks for any information that can help me....

 

- Mike

I can't speak to the GE,others here are more knowledgeable, but if there are no issues with the 150, buy it! That is a steal.

I have a 1988 Golden Eagle,serial E00201,and reg. no.103 of the first 1000,which I've owned for about

4 years and paid £1500 U.K. for it.I would expect U.S. price to be lower,since easier to find.Mine is an

acoustic GE fitted with a K&K pickup on the underside of the top.

I would not expect the price to vary much because of the year of production,nor would I have thought that

prices have increased in the U.K. in the last 4 years,not sure about U.S.

My H150 is a 2004 H150CM Ultra in natural with HRW pickups which I bought from the US in almost mint

condition around 3 years ago and paid $1425 for (+to me shipment and import taxes).Even with the extra

cost to the UK I still think this was a great deal for a rather special guitar.

While the H150 price range seems close to market, their Golden Eagle prices seem very low. Depending on condition, I'd think they should be worth as much as $3k -$4k depending on options and condition.

 

The OP should take a look on Ebay 'sold', as well as check Reverb asking and selling prices for each.
