The ad says $8k which isn't out of the question...perhaps a bit high...but in the ball park.

...that is a cool guitar...looks like fun!

Ages ago when I worked for a certain chain guitar sore. we had one of those come in used.
IIRC, we had it tagged around $2k, maybe $2500. This was about 20 years ago, and IIRC, the harp part of the headstock had been broken and repaired - long before.
We did sell and ship it in less than a week - it went in a keyboard case with lots of extra padding inside and outside, and into as big a box as we had.
As far as I know it arrived fine.
