There's really no way to guess based on a single postage stamp sized photo. If you can provide bigger, higher quality photos of the entire instrument (front and back, including front and back of the headstock) we can try to guess for you.
Otherwise I'd suggest looking on eBay or Reverb for similar instruments that have sold in the past, or contacting someone like Gruhn Guitars in Nashville to get an appraisal. Good luck!

There's one very much like yours on Ebay right now that's not selling at $1999. The same one has been on Reverb for 9 months at $1699. If yours in in good shape and has it's original case, maybe $1000-1200?

Brad & John are correct.
Does it have the original case?
Do the electronics work?
Better photos would help a lot.

A Gibson EH150 7 string in good condition should fetch $1500. For quick sale on the forum, I’d ask $1200.
As has been mentioned by others, better photos and more photos will make a big difference. Mint condition with original case could get $2000.

Thanks everybody. I've been away from the computer for a few days, and I appreciate all the data you folks supplied.

It seems that Guitar Center has one for $1350 albeit without a case.George Rout wrote:Does anybody have a guesstimate sale price for this guitar please?

So your $1500 with a good case is right in the ballpark

Fine print at the bottom....
A seller on this forum was not able to sell an EH-150 until he radically dropped the price to below 1000 a year or so ago. I did not jump on it quickly enough when he did. End of the story is that he found me an EH-185 in player condition at a very reasonable price months later, and I had a great day hanging out with him. Thanks, Tommy!
