I saw that episode also, first time I ever noticed one of these on any show........... Rick seemed puzzled as to what it was and if it was altered. Jesse from Cowtown Guitars seemed to know less about it than most guitars they call him in to check out. I think $2,000.00 is a bit low, one sold locally not too long ago for $2,500 with a headstock repair. It takes a while before they sell, but the fact that it was spotlighted on Pawn Stars can only help. :teeth
I know the low impedance models are not as popular as the regular Les Pauls, but I thought that model would be worth a lot more, especially in the pristine condition it was in.
