munti Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Good morning all, New on the forum, I will need info on this guitar which I just finished restoring. Here is what I have. - Strat type - 1 piece maple neck -3 single microphones - 5-way switch - Matsumoku explorer style head with "Epiphone" inlay -weight 3, 850 Kg -Number: 5121663 (December 85, 1663 ex). This model seems difficult (with this type of head)? Thank you for your information ! * If the value is minimal, it is not important, I find this guitar nifty, in any case I had a lot of work.☺️ Excuse my language, I use the translator my translation, I come from FRANCE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinTheHood Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 1985 S-300. These weren't in any catalog that I am aware of and seem to have been a relatively small run prior to the full release of the S-300 in 1986. Not sure of the value. Probably around $200. Not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cette guitare S 300 avec cette poupée est introuvable ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the confusion but i barely write French, took lessons for 2 years but that was 7 years ago i had no one to practice with, so i forgot most of it, i think im better off reading it than writing/speaking, hehe...yeah well, your guitar is not on the expensive side but i think its quite good, and i imagine you custom painted it (i have only seen them in black and red) its a nice color!

Hello, i think i forgot the translation. I said that here in France we see a lot of LP or SG type, but not of this model S 300 with this head. I renovated it and I used a paint according to the internal traces (green, blue). I am now less of a musician and more of a collector. Thanks for your info. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The resale price has gone up exponentially over the past few years. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
