I think you're right there thanks, excuse my ignorance. Looks like it maybe a Lexington or something close to that. A mate is looking to sell his but didn't know what make model it was.

Yep, you got it. No excuses necessary. (I'm pretty sure this is the reason I've been sent here.)

Any ideas on what actual/rough worth is on these? Ebay prices look pretty insane.

I scored a 12 string version of this a few months ago for $100; flipped it for around $300, which surprised me a bit. Ebay prices are indeed crazy for these, but I have seen quite a few go for $500 or more. I think $4-600 is a
good price range for one.

Yeah, I'd say $400-$600 is definitely reasonable. It sort of depends on what people're willing to pay. I haven't kept up with prices on these.

They do seem to be going for a bit more these days.

Cool thanks lads we're hoping to get about 3-400 dollars towards some studio gear so that's deadly.
