How much are Firedman Kellys worth?

[MetalHeadMat]

Cool pic. Yeah, the one at JC is definitely different than that one since it's string-thru. I think silverburst looks insanely good on the KE1.

Definately, I'm getting a KE3 body which may need a refin soon, if it does I think you know what I might be making

[MartyFriedmanIsMaster]

A KE1 say on ebay will be worth more because of rarity and the original discontinued kahler model and what not, around $1500 U.S. unless its a custom shop color. The KE1T is later and around $1200 bucks. Keep in mind this is just estimates from what I have been scoping on eBay for a long time.

Then theres PRISTINE condition KE1's like this, and they can run for a little more.

That's gorgeous.

I predict 0 bids on that one. Price is too high IMO.

Musician's Friend did have a run of KE1s with Floyd Rose tremolos on them called KE1Ts which is what Martyfriedmanismaster is referring to. I think $1200 for those is a good base price.

[MartyFriedmanIsMaster]

Yeah, that is REALLY high, no one should pay close to 2k. That's just an example of a MMMMMMint condition one.

There is also the KE1F, with the "F" standing for Floyd Rose. I payed $1450 for my KE1F that is a trans black near mint 9/10 guitar.

This should give you an idea.

Someone is paying that much for one with a Kahler, so somewhere around there I guess.

That's a bidder with only one transaction though, so not sure if that's representative of the value. Usually noob buyers will pay any dollar amount they can afford to say they have such-and-such model. Especially if they're no longer made. Most of us collecting Jacksons though are a tad more 'discerning'.

[Jayster]

There was just a Ke1 on evil gay that was overpriced(especially for the condition it was in). The seller was a tad unrealistic and turned down 4 bids(unknown amounts) and still has his guitar - but he was very honest about showing the condition.

It looks like it was used in my brute, and the amount of scumming on the fret wire makes my stomach want to puke.
