Artist 1 ballpark value

[Rampage]

I am considering picking up a really great playing and fantastic looking Artist 1. What is considered to be a fair price for one of these?

Thanks!

We are not allowed to discuss prices. I'd try eBay or Craigslist for a price .

I ended up pulling the trigger. It was made for and owned by Dan Huff. The guys at Rumbleseat treated me right.

Pics to come

I thought there was essentially a blanket ban on pricing discussions too, but apparently that applies mostly to Current models (or NOS, I suppose).

If an Artist I is not a current model, and hasn't been for a while, I think tossing around "typical" pricing wouldn't be frowned upon. Much like how you can mention that a Swamp Ash Special can go for $1.5K to $2K if in good condition, and CEs should be available around $1K.

That's my understanding, at least.

Nah. Just retail price of new gear. We can discuss the value of old gear all day long.

I sold my Artist 1 a couple of months ago for $4000. It was kind of a rarity. Semi-hollow, Gibson Tuneomatic, beautiful top, but a little rough.
Hope this helps,
Brad

Out of curiosity, I checked out Reverb.com (keyword "Artist", make: Paul-Reed-Smith). Just on the first page there are a few Artist 1/2/3 guitars there, range from $3000-ish to $6500-ish.

As always, a guitar (or anything) is only worth as much as someone is actively willing to pay for it.

Please do not discuss my value all day long. I need naps and can't keep up with the discussion.
