I don't know how much it is worth...but I'll give you $200 for it. HaHaHa!!! Very Happy

That is pretty clean looking...I would love to see some more pics of it.

In the words of Borat...Very nice!!!

The lever changes the tuning.

No idea what to price it at. You hardly ever see those, looks like a late 50s/early 60s model?

I'm told this might be a '61 (circa) model #80C. The prevalent vibe so far is that it might fetch between $500 & $600.

The lever does change tuning. One fellow who claimed to know told me that if you know how to work it, the Multi-Harp Triplex will actually give you three distinct tunings. Somehow that seems doubtful to me. Whoever had it before I got it had it set up to do nothing more than lower the 2nd string by a step ... I'm guessing to maybe give the player a pedally-sounding 2nd-to-3rd sound.

The guitar is in great shape. The only thing I can see immediately wrong with it is that the adjustment screw for the 1st string is not original, and whatever's on there doesn't do the trick. Otherwise, it's a thing of beauty.

Very nice! I think you're in the right ballpark on the price.
