L5Larry Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 You are correct about the year, "00" is the code for 1976. Value is determined by the market, try doing a search of actual sales prices (not asking prices) on e-bay and Craig's list. The vintage guitar guides, asking/advertised prices and appraisals are uselss in the REAL WORLD market. The ONLY prices that mean anything are what people are actually paying for them.

flameburst Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 I think for a '76 you'd be looking at between $2,500 to $3,250 in minty condition. If it was an earlier model (say 1969-71) then it could be more, maybe $3,500-$4,750. Everyone is winge-ing about the ailing economy, but the fact is people still want to buy guitars - and anything minty clean that has not been frigged about with, will always command premium prices no matter what state the economic climate is in. I hope this helps as a ballpark? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the economy is like it is now, it's really not a matter of NOT having the money for certain things (like guitars), it's about having to use that money on more important things (like necessities, i.e rent/house payments, car/insurance payments, etc). So, even though I've been SERIOUSLY gassing for a new Gibson LP, I won't be able to afford one for the foreseeable future. It's getting to the point to where most people can't even afford USED guitars anymore! I've been trying to sell one of my guitars (my Strat) for an already ridiculously low amount, and people STILL try to talk down the price, to the point to where I would basically have to give it away! And that ISN'T going to happen! Another factor is that, the number of vintage guitars in circulation is dropping dramatically (as it has been for years), and godd quality (well taken care of) LPs are almost non-existant, which in turn, drives the prices into the stratosphere!Now with the Deluxe, these prices are about right, but even then, you'd be suprized on how many people would PASS on one, even it's in PEREFECT condition.
