Location: Asheville NC | Hello- I hope someone can help me. I need to sell my 1975 Legend 1617 (I purchased in 1977). I no longer need it but not sure how much to ask. I wore it out too- so I just did a fret job because I could not in good conscience sell it that way... it's in excellent shape overall. Anyone have a price guide and care to share? Thanks! |

| That's about right. I recently picked up a 1978 vintage in good shape, with OHSC, for $380. |

So, a mid 70's legend used to cost what? $350?
If you want a more accurate guess, I would suggest contacting the Price Police.

Location: Asheville NC | Thanks so much to all that responded. Yes the case is in good shape. I forgot what I paid- (a senior moment), but thought it was about 450. (maybe I paid too much eh?) The model number I now notice is 1617-04 made in Hartford. What does the -04 stand for (or is it a dot)?
Thanks again. |
