National Style 1.5 Tricone price range?

[gaucho]

Anyone know if the price on the guitar is out of line? Personally I think is on the high side of what they are going for but I can't find anything to compare it to.

Hi Gaucho,

2018 Vintage Guitar Magazine Price Guide lists them at between low condition $7200 and high condition $9600 USD. so there is a fair chance that the seller used the guide to value the guitar.

The Price Guide is the bible for most Vintage Guitar Dealers and is usually the range that most prices are based on.

I think prices are on the way up as the US economy is improving. The 2019 price Guide is about to be released and I expect the range will have increased.

With vintage round neck Tricones I think it is a sellers market as you said there are not many around to choose from.

Price actually seems reasonable. Guitar is nice and clean. Not sure about the tuners. The engraved border is a pretty rare variation that you don't see too often.
