How the asking price compares

At £799.95, this sits against a current median asking price of £0 across 1 other closely matched listing. For now, the current market median remains the main AG benchmark at £1,138.13. The featured guitar is about 29.7% below that level. That earns AG’s Great Price rating: on the evidence available, it is notably keener than the centre of the current asking-price market. These are observed eBay asking prices, not confirmed sold prices.

What a buyer should check

Check tremolo setup, fret wear, neck straightness and noisy electronics. Confirm whether the body, neck and pickups belong together, particularly on older or heavily modified guitars.
