H-555 Value

[vfrrich]

Hi all,

I've had my H-555 for quite a few years, and have been thinking about thinning the herd.  The sale prices seem to be all over the map when I try to figure a fair sale price.  What do you recommend as the best approach to determining a realistic value on it?

Here's a link to Reverb's sold listings.

Looks like quite a wide spread - $1,800 - $3,500 depending on options.  Mid  $2,500 appears around the average.

Thanks.  That's what I saw as well.

If you have pics/build data/condition we might be able to get a little closer.

A few more pictures.

The only "flaw" I would say is the the binding along the neck has the little cracks at some of the frets which I hear is a common occurrence.

I cant help with the value question but -  that is a beautiful guitar!

You must have some really nice guitars if you would sell that!

It looks that way to me.

With that beautiful neck and Heritage current new prices, i'd be looking to get $2500 for sure for that beauty. Also, i'd love to check it out/jam sometime post-Covid since I'm local.

Good luck!

"classic" referred to pickups being installed at that time, others will have specifics on the pickups. I had a H150CL and it had Duncan 59s, but I think the two screws on each side indicate you have another type.
