Get a copy of "The Vintage Guitar Price Guide", check Ebay for sold items in the "Advance" section, also check reverb.com in their sold section, gbase.com may also have a similar section, check to see what dealers are asking. The value of a guitar will vary greatly by condition, repairs, mods, etc.

The 2020 VG Price guide (which is soon to be updated) lists it as $1,575 (low) to $2,075 (high). This is probably a bit low. They likely sell somewhere between this & the typical higher asking price.

I bought these quite a few years ago. They are unique & have been slowly going up in value.... The '77 has a 25.5" scale neck, after that they went back to a 24.75" scale length.
