This very lovely-looking ST100 just sold for 321 100 JPY in Japan (about 2 200 USD).
They really don't come up for sale often enough to have an expected current price in the normal sense, but I doubt one has sold for more in Japan? They do resell for that kind of money and more in the West, but that's after importation costs, seller's markup etc.
With rare guitars like this, it's always hard to know if this indicates the true current market value or if it's just the result of two determined guys competing for bragging rights. We'll see if others turn up for sale soon. It happens quite often with rarities, it's like a sale like this makes other owners aware of the value of what they have.
Nice guitar either way. And the sellers seemed a bit clueless, so I guess they got a nice surprise,
