I have an O'hagan Flying V guitar that I purchased new in the 80's from a local music store. This guitar
is neatly mint, wondering if you have any idea of it's value?

I've never seen another one like it - silverburst finish - has a Kahler type tremolo system that I don't believe
is original.

Any info you can supply on this O'Hagan guitar would be appreciated. Thanks much.

You say that you bought the guitar new in the eighties then go on to say it has a Kahler type trem that you don't think is original. My question is if you bought it new shouldn't you know if its original? look no need to bullshit people. I bought mine a couple of years ago with the original case,USED for 230.00 that includes shipping off ebay. I also bought an O'hagan lazer that the strat type it came two ways the single hum ala Halen or 3 singles als strat mine is the 3 singles. It cost 189.00 again with shipping off ebay no case but still a good deal the v is black and the lazer is natural both sweet with DiMarzio pickups and the v is hot and the lazer in very vintage sounding think buddy holly.

That's a really good question. I've wondered the same thing about mine. I know O'Hagan only made a limited amount of these guitars. Searching around online I found the following information:

Best I can tell, mine is in the ballpark of $500 - $1000. Somewhere in there. Condition has a lot to do with it. Unfortunately, I cracked the headstock on mine. I had it repaired, but it's still a pretty major flaw. Still plays and sounds like a dream. Best guitar I've ever played. I love it!
