Is this an ok price for a 1991 Heritage Eagle

Forgive me is this is not appropriate to post here. I am thinking of buying this guitar, but I’m not sure about archtops/heritage values. I’m looking for a good “couch guitar” to play acoustically and occasionally plug in.

The Marketplace for Musicians | Reverb.com

is this a fair price? (Seems like it is). It has been on reverb for a while now, so I’m wondering what I’m missing here.

Yep I’d say that’s a good price. I’m a big fan of Heritage guitars, especially the ones from the 90s and early 2000s. Let’s put it this way: try to find an American made all carved archtop for less money than that!

Perhaps it’s the relatively plain appearance that’s been keeping buyers away.

Looks like a beauty to me! I see that someone made an offer on it.

Looks bery nice to me and I'd say that's a good price. Maybe the dot inlays are not appealing to those who like no inlays or like big block MOP/abalone ones. Granted the video is of a different guitar, but that sound is good. This is a guitar you might not outgrow no matter how good you get. Offer $2200 and see if they bite, you might get an even better deal.

Offered $2100 and they accepted! Was second guessing myself, appreciate the input from folks here!

I think you got a good deal.

Nice guitar, it would be the Heritage equivalent of an L5 Studio IMO...

No. Nothing in common with a Studio. The Heritage is completely acoustic. It looks to me that the Heritage has a back of Mahogany. Most of these had Mahogany top, back and sides. Someone paid extra to add a Spruce top.

Those sold 10 years ago for $1200. I had one for a few weeks. All the Studios have dual Humbuckers.

That was a very sweet deal for one with a spruce top.

Great deal, great guitar!

Great guitar, great price. I had a similar instrument that had no fretboard inlays, just pure, black ebony. Spruce and mahogany. You got a deal. Enjoy it!
