What do these guitars go for. The guitar is a S10 with legs . A friend has one and may sell and if the price is right I'd like to get it. Thanks for any help.

There are various models. I paid around 350 - 400 five or six years back for the "pro model" with 4 legs. How much does he/she want?

Graham, I don't know what he'll ask. I'll try to get a little more info . Thanks for your reply.

Tony,

I tried to search for it but couldn't find it, but one sold recently on ebay that had legs (and two pickups, which was rare) for a little over $400. Considering how inexpensive vintage laps are, we tend to think that even $800 is too much to pay for a great vintage lap, but think of how much vintage guitars go for. It's just a matter of time before the value of rarer vintage laps (like an Alkire) starts soaring, I believe, anyways. But nobody's ever come to me for investment purposes, so you might want to possibly ignore my advice.

The two pickup model was the one I bought. Over 10 years ago I bought one of the Epiphone (non console) original Eharps fro $250.

Graham,

That's about what I paid for mine, too, on ebay about seven years ago. The guitar-shaped Epiphone, right, with the nice, big, solid tuning knobs (not the little white ones that deteriorate)?

The white and black one with dark brown wood fingerboard, clear perspex wrist guard ... like the one on the cover of "Lucky Steels the Wheel".

I have two National E-harps. One has legs and the other does not. I paid $500 for the E-harp with legs and $400 for the one without legs. They are both in very good condition. I reallly like them. I put them together on a stand and have a double neck. Its great.
