I have done some research on this, and found out that this could be worth a pretty penny....I am not looking to sell it just yet, but does anyone know of a place online that I can send pics to have it appraised? I have heard Daves Guitars, but not sure.
There's a guy who has a guitar repair shop a few miles down the street from me who specializes in vintage electric gibsons. I had a 1961 Gibson Melody Maker DC that I was trying to sell and I emailed him and he gave me an estimate of what it was worth (I ended up selling it for only $150 less than his estimate btw). If you sent him some pics I'm sure he could shoot you back an ball park figure. His site is http://www.darrenriley.com/main.html
