Estimated Resale Value
Depending on current market conditions, condition, and completeness, the estimated value is:
Condition & Included Accessories | Estimated Market Value |
Good to Very Good (Player condition, minor wear, generic or non-original case) | $3,500 – $4,500 |
Excellent to Mint (Complete with Certificate of Authenticity, pristine condition, original hard shell case) | $4,500 – $6,000+ |
Key Value Factors for Serial #086
Certificate of Authenticity (COA): Having the original signed Certificate of Authenticity matching serial #086 significantly boosts value (often adding $500 to $1,000+ over units missing documentation).
Gig Bag vs. Hard Shell Case: The photo shows the guitar in a PRS gig bag. Collectors heavily prefer the original ESP hard shell case. Including the original ESP case can increase the overall value by $200 – $400.
Condition: This example appears to be in excellent aesthetic condition with clean green metallic hot rod flames, pristine neck back graphics, and Sperzel locking tuners intact.
