I just saw one at eBay ended yesterday for $756. http://www.qksrv.net/click-1802666-10381315?loc=http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI .dll%3FViewItem%26item%3D7390700561 I've seen couple other(they were AM205) at eBay that ended around $900 too. But then I've seen many postings on web where many people say that they only paid around $500. How much should I expect to spend? I'm not very knowledged when it comes to vintage guitar prices. Any advises will be much appreciated (--)(__) Acetan Username: Acetan Registered: 09-2003 Posted on Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - 1:13 pm:    I think $756 for an AM255 was a very good price, so would $900 for an AM205. It will be a very, very lucky person who bought an AM205 for $500 nowadays.

I guess maybe they were back in the 80's. Thanks alot Ace!

For example AM205 and AM205AV Please excuse my newbie questions There are more comin' up...

Bluesmeister Username: Bluesmeister Registered: 05-2004 Posted on Tuesday, February 21, 2006 - 10:49 pm:    And to add some more information for you Tone, if the middle digit is a 5, the guitar has a factory-fitted tremolo, if the last digit is a 5 it's a Burl Mahogany top. To the best of my knowledge, all Burl Mahogany tops are AV finish. But not all AV finishes are Burl Mahogany tops. Oh, and next time anyone spots an AM205AV for $500, it's MINE! Tone Username: Tone Registered: 02-2006 Posted on Wednesday, February 22, 2006 - 12:24 am:    That's what it was... Thanks Gramatica! Thanks alot for the info Meister. I'll definately check the digits when I get it, and post a follow up about how much I love it...
