Location: St. Paul, MN | My former husband wants to buy my Legend (1117, 1979, 24Kt gold plate) for his son who will start college at a music school this fall. I want to give him a fair price - we still like each other and he did give me this guitar for a (really nice!) birthday gift while we were married. I'd love help determining a price or price range from this knowledgeable group. Will make a donation to this website as a thank-you.
The Legend is in excellent, like-new condition though a little dusty. |

Location: Michigan | It should be worth at least $400 to the right buyer, probably more. That is... to the right buyer. Ebay would probably fetch in the $350-400 range. It is a really nice guitar and as far as legends go these sound great. $350 would save you the hassel of selling it on eaby. You would probably get $150-200 from a dealer so if you want to be nice I would say $300 would be a good deal for everyone. |

Dealers will want 100% markup.......
