Why we selected it today

Good pick because the listing's asking price sits well below our historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark for Gibson Explorer Historic/Reissue listings. The value evidence is labelled Great Price and uses a historical like‑for‑like asking‑price benchmark rather than today's thin live pool. The pricing evidence helped too: AG currently rates the asking price as Great Price against its like-for-like comparison set.

How the asking price compares

Allowing for the like-for-like asking-price history we have collected, the AG benchmark is $2,760.99. The featured guitar is about 16.5% 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.
