Hey,Guys!

I know all about Fender non-pedals, but I'm kinda lost when it comes to valuing Gibsons. As a buyer and seller I know something's worth as much as someone is willing to pay... But are there any Gibson experts who could give me a ball park fair price range on this 1939-40 Gibson EH-185? It's in great shape, sounds amazing... everything is original to my knowledge (one knob is off a different EH model and the case handle is intact--just without the leather padding. I'm thinking of selling, but not sure where to start.

Thanks!








Thanks.

Not quite all original - two of the tuners are replacements.

I'd put it in the $1500-2000 range. I realize that's a little broad, but there aren't a ton of these out there and actual selling prices these days are a bit unpredictable.
