Howdy. I'm trying to get an idea of current value for these for my insurance. The red one has been gigged and still kicks ass. The orange one was purchased new as a backup and I never really played it. Still like new. Don't know if these have gone up, down or who knows what. Haven't played either in a while but want to keep them properly covered.

Thanks

Depends... They will Never make them again.

So if you want "Replacement Value", $5,000.... each.

I'm guessing that is the price to have one Custom-made with quintad bracing and all... If they will do it.

Or maybe just $1200 each, cuz that was about the store price for a new one.

MSRP was $1799 or more (I think)

eBay value is less lately, but I have personally sold an Orange one for $777, and seen them go for more (and less).

Dealing with the value of guitars has to be compared to the 7th level of hell with insurance adjusters.
That job is probably passed on to the "new guy".
