    Hey Guys,

    I've got a mint condition Greenie that I'm thinking of selling as I barely have time to play anymore.  I haven't seen any pop up for awhile so was wondering what you guys think it would be worth nowadays.  Comes with all the expected goodies (case, CoA, etc.)

    Thanks!

          EXPCustoms K serial sat for a LONG time priced at $2600 with a recessed back cavity and everything.

                I just want to clarify on this, I dropped the price to this for a short time about two months ago because I needed cash then pulled it off the market. It was about two weeks ago I got the original case for it, relisted it with better pics and it sold for 3500 on Reverb.

                 

                If you look at my Reverb feedback you can see this:

                 

                https://reverb.com/item/10637874-esp-kh2-se-greenburst-with-case

                 

                Funny story, some guy made me an offer below 2500 and I accepted, then he asked if I had the orignal COA and case after making the offer which I had already accepted. I explained to him the K serials never came with COAs and like the description says there is no case. He told me he wants to back out because he needs the case and COA. I told him good luck last SS serial with COA and case sold for 4k. I bet he kicks himslef now for missing out on that killer deal.

                  I'm still absolutely shocked that it didn't blow out immediately at $2600! That made no sense to me.

                    I bet he is kicking himself now for that price.

                      So just to clarify I think a KH2SE with SS serial numbernin mint condition should or has gone for around 4k.

                      K serials do not nor have ever came with COAs but they did come with warranty cards. So I know my last KH2SE was a K serial and sold for 3500 and lacked any paperwork.

                      I would put the price between 3500-4500 currently. As much as it matters to me I think the K serial number doesn't matter to collectors but to me I never cared about COAs I just wanted a guitar as close as possible to Metallica's I don't need a piece of paper to tell me whats real or whats not. Also all of Jeff's guitars I own never came with a COA.

                        I would have changed the hardware on yours ... This Chrome looks weird on it.

                          It's funny you bring that up, I was considering keeping it and if  did that was the first thing I was going to do.

                            Yep, I searched high and low around the world for a KH2-SE with black hardware from the factory and I eventually found one for sale in the US.

                            And this was back in April 2012 when they were still 'new' so to speak.

                              Yeah, I guess there aren't any for sale at the moment to really gauge their value which makes it hard to put a price on them.

                                  I'd say the end of the World Magnetic tour. And a bit more 2010-2011. Let me check later tonight in my live shows collection.

                                    I was re-reading my post ... The guitar was released in 2011 in fact, he used it maybe 2 years around that period.

                                      Off the top of my head 2012 Orion music and more. For sure. Also Orion 2013. I’m sure there are more recent those I saw in person.

                                        As you can see, it’s an SS with black hardware.  Was just playing a bit cause how can you not once it out of the case?  Great guitar.  Still love it.  Fiancée is saying I might as well keep it since we’re not exactly hard up for money but it would be nice to put that towards the wedding. 

                                        Condition wise I would say it’s a solid 9.5.  Some minor pick scratches and the usual but that’s it.

                                          Honestly if you have the case and COA I see no reason you shouldn't get less than 3500 for it, probably 4k.

                                            I do have the case, coa and build card so if I decide to list, I’ll know where to start at least.

                                            Thanks!

                                              I would just keep it mate, if you're not that hard up for the cash just keep it and enjoy.

                                              Hope you have a great weekend and thanks for the pics.
