Ron G Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Guy on Craigslist says he bought this guitar new at GC for about $1K. The JL Limited Edition EJ160 sells new for about $500. Was there a "special" one that sold for $1K? http://eugene.craigslist.org/msg/1191609570.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Buffalo Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Not that I'm aware - a few years ago, when the Canadian dollar was about 64 cents, US, I bought my MIK EJ160-E for about $832.00 Canadian. (Which is about what the new MIC models are going for today.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stone1281734000 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Interesting. I recall last year seeing a couple of Epi EJ-160E's on the MF website for between $600 and $800(not list) that they were clearing out. I remember wondering why such an odd, high price as they were going for $399 or $499 then. Perhaps they made a limited run in Japan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stone1281734000 Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 Well I just looked at the serial number on the label in the craigslist ad and it begins with "SI", indicating it was made at the Samick Indonesia plant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clarkuss Posted June 1, 2009 Share Posted June 1, 2009 There has never been a John Lennon EJ-160e in Japan or America as far as I know. That price tag is absolute madness. I imported one from america a couple of years ago and it cost me $500 and I recently bought a couple in the UK at £300-£350 which would be around $600-700 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imported one from america a couple of years ago and it cost me $500 and I recently bought a couple in the UK at £300-£350 which would be around $600-700 Though GC has jacked up the price in the states here by $100, the rest of the dealers are still the same $500 as they have been for I don't know how many years now. The $1000 guy is a nut, but why not take a shot I guess? That seems to be the mentality these days. I work retail and many but not most people take a shot and make stupid demands. If they get their way, they win if not then nothing lost. I am guessing this was one of those I'll throw it out there and see if anyone bites if not then back down. I'm sorry, but there is no EJ160E made worth $1000 except maybe one played by John himself and that is not real likely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
