Bernie Marsden colour

[Dutchie]

Hi, new to forum.
I'm looking at a BM SE only about an hours drive from me.
Seller asking nearly 600 euro, without gig bag.
Thats just for info, actual help I'm looking for is does the colour of an artist guitar matter price wise ?
I would associate Bernie with a vintage honeyburst, this is more red?
Early model ? without headstock signature.
Thanks for reading.

The most important things will be the condition of the guitar, and which production run did it come from. I believe the first run of European guitars had a USA 57/08 in the bridge position. That would make it more desirable. At any rate, here in the states they don’t turn up for sale as frequently. The lack of a case would be an issue for me and would lower the price. Welcome, do stay, and let us know what happens. The lack of a signature means nothing to most of us here.

Seems right, The next question……how does it sound in your hands? I start with unplugged. I believe that pickups will amplify what is already there.
