Well, Marshall, $500 in 1985 equates to just under $1,000 in 2007 dollars. You should have bought it. (Grandpa Jones sings now: "Oh if I could just go back and know what I know now!") LOL PRe-economic downturn market for excellent condition in the VG price guide was $3,500-4,500 for the 2 pup version. 3 pup versions are a bit higher. One might want to really study that guitar hard. Those serial numbers in that era are not written in stone. Details are everything when dating Gibsons from '63 through '75.
This return on initial investment is or can be another aspect of the Gibson versus Made in Asia Epi's, right? IF you hold them long enough, they gather or at least hold value.
