Location: NJ | The S/N's of the import models don't really help in determining date of manufacture. The "features" MAY, but I'm not one who can w/that. Sorry.
Anyway, . . Welcome . . Merry Christmas . . and nice "handle" (Harry would be proud;-) |

On average, two out of three responces will be a serious attempt to answer your question. |

Location: Boise, Idaho | I'd say $399 is high for an older 257. I just bought a perfect 1 year old 247 for $290 with case from Guitar Center and they are usually a little high here. |

You could always buy my Celebrity. It is a CK057 on ebay here
I agree, Guitar Center has them new for $399 with the Op20 (with built in tuner) and a warranty. |
