Why this number?
The typical used price is the median of 9 used sales observed in the last 24 months, with outliers removed and the figure rounded. An observed sale is often the last asking price rather than a confirmed hammer price.
| Typical used price | €3,350 | median sold, rounded |
| Most sold between | €3,200–€4,250 | 25th to 75th percentile, same window |

| Sample | 9 used sales | thin data, treat as a rough guide |
| By condition | €5,600 | new, median of 28 sales, same window |
| Time to sell | — | only counted from listings we watch start to finish; not enough yet |
| Sell-through | 0% | 18 watched listings resolved, 6 months |

| Live asks | €4,875 | typical ask across 42 listings, 46% above typical used |
| Outliers | dropped | beyond 10× the product’s own median: bundles, parts, typos |

| Sales on record | 112 | all-time, all platforms |
| Closest new | €2,499 | Gibson J45 Standard at Thomann; a relative’s price, not this model’s |

Price history
Every recorded sale, one point each: 112 of them, placed by the day the ad went up. The line follows the middle of the sales around each point, with the middle half behind it, and breaks wherever nothing sold nearby. Condition is mixed, so some of the spread is a mint against a fair rather than the market moving.
