MorristownSal Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Hey fellas and ladies, what do you think fair value is for a decade old LG-2 American Eagle? The playability is excellent. The headstock chipped. Fretwear minimal, a few scratches and nicks. The Baggs Element replaced with an Anthem. I’m going to see one later today. back then these were listed at $1700 or $1800 new, and I bought a couple used for about $1200. One of them still resides with my oldest son. I sense they might be more today, or not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponty Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Depending on age and condition.. $1000-1400. Thats a guess....I am from the UK and check out Gumtree regularly. There are 2 for sale and have been for weeks. Even by UK standards I think £1200 is a bargain. It is competing with the 50s LG2 as well now. However, a few years ago I was at Sam Ash in NYC trying all sorts of high name guitars, including a few Gibsons. I left feeling the only one that spoke to me was the LG2 AE! I now have the 50s LG2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egoidealmusic Posted June 17 Share Posted June 17 Yup, I'd guess 1000-1500 as well. I got one about two years ago in mint (had literally never been played--just sat in the case) and paid 1300. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorristownSal Posted June 19 Author Share Posted June 19 Well, I looked at it. It sounded great but I didn’t buy it. It looked like the neck was glued at some point, and the owner seemed way too eager to ditch it, right after an expensive pickup install. wow… I practiced impulse control.

I know they don't make them anymore, so I'll probably have to find one online. Is there a similar guitar I could play to get an idea? I think there were some little changes over the years they made them. Is there a certain year I should look for or avoid? Thanks in advance for any info! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
