I actually just picked up a blue one up at the Sam Ash at 48th St (Use to be Manny's Music) for $400 including case. No scratches or dent's and I'm assuming it's one of the later reissues. As for Value, they tend to go for about $500 to $550 on eBay, judging from the completed listings.
This talk of price though brings up an interesting question... How much do you think a Jagstang will go for in about 20 years? I ask this because now that they have been discontinued (at least temporarily) I'm wondering if scarcity will drive up prices... For all you economists out there, how much would you expect the price to increase (or decrease) on either:
A. Mint condition Jagstang?
or
B. A modified Jagstang?
I figure I should get some estimates before I mess up mine 😉 Let's hear some guesses...
