This is indeed a drooler as she is a beauty and looks to be all original from what I can see in the photos. Will be interesting to see how high this one goes. I hope it stays low but chances are it will not as it is one of the better ones I have seen in some time and has the open book headstock with torch. Good luck to all bidders on this one.Hope someone here snags it.

What would you guys say is a high price for these?


Also, is someone else on here going for it?

That is a tough one to answer. I would think that a high price is dependant upon how much and how bad you want the guitar. I would say a reasonable price for this one would be in the $400-$500 range as you do not see them that much and this one is clean and stock. I would think that an extreme price would be in excess of that. There was one listed on the Bay prior to Xmas that they wanted $800 for and it never drew a bid and never sold. I am like most others and have limited funds so I spend wisley.If it is a rare model and the quality is good I may bite the bullet every now and then. An X910 model was on the bay not long ago but was in rough shape and I though about going after it but passed due to the high price and I have not seen another since so if you really want this one then go fo it and good luck. Maybe you will get lucky and it will stay low.

Thank you so much for the info!

I truly have a passion for that guitar and I need it in my life and on my band's record!

Good luck and watch out for those E Bay snipers that strike at the last sec. If I am determined to get one I will just place my Max bid right off the bat also. Good Luck

A 2247 Carved SG went for $581 back in September, can't tell you what shape it was in, sorry. I know the carved LP's have been known to go for upwards of a grand. You must have a trusting soul to volunteer what kind of funds you have... I'll stay out of your way, but if GDranow wants it, I can't help you out! Good luck and Cheers, Mike.

My rough guess is that it will sell for around $650 or so. They are popular models and don't always show up that often. Stick in there and Good Luck.

I always liked the carved sg and lp customs. Good luck. Any one know if they are/were hand carved or machined?

They are not absolutly clear on that point. Some say hand carved but with the amount produced I would think that they were machined but I am not certain. They look great no matter how they were done.
