jimmiJAMM Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Not sure about what they cost new but this free online Blue Book of Electric Guitars may help. http://books.google.com/books?id=IrN-E3yn5mMC&printsec=frontcover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sgTime Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Yeah, these guitars are like 800.00 new ( i wouldnt buy new due to the lack of Gibson's quality and the lack of inlays) and i have no idea about used. Id check a guitar blue book or call a music shop and ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmiJAMM Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 This FREE online Blue Book is a couple years old but it may help. Otherwise stop into Barnes & Noble and skim through the recent edition. http://books.google.com/books?id=IrN-E3yn5mMC&printsec=frontcover Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hellion102792 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I think back then (judging by an old GC pamphlet I found while cleaning my closet), they went new for around $600 for the crescent moon models. I'd say around $500 sounds like a good price, but expect people to have it a bit higher due to the fact that it's a discontinued "rare" model.

Kurt Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 the AY signature (page 466) says it has an engraved vibrator!! That explains it´s relatively high price! And maybe Angus´s stage moves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GuitarJunkie Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Look on ebay at the "SG Special faded". The one with the moon inlays was the earliest version of this model. The usually go for a bit more than the dot inlay version because they came with an ebony fingerboard. New they ranged between roughly $649 to $895 without a case. If you can get one used for under $800 with a hard case, you're doing okay. If you want to save a few bucks, look for one with dot inlays and a rosewood board. EDIT: I just went on ebay and looked at completed listings since I haven't checked prices on these in awhile. I guess the economy is starting to have an effect on used prices even on the low end of the spectrum. In the last couple of weeks, there have been almost a dozen of the dot inlay models that have sold under $600 (some with gigbags, some with hardshells). There were no moon inlay models in the completed auctions and only one in the current listings, so I'll leave it up to you to decide how much more an ebony board and moon inlays are worth to you. One thing to keep in mind, if you do eventually decide to sell it down the road you're more likely to get top dollar if you're the guy selling the only moon inlay model as opposed to one of 25 guys selling the dot model.
