Here's a link to your other thread about the guitar. Photos are at the other topic (Said for anyone else reading.)

As for monetary value, I think it depends on who you sell it to and its condition and what else is included. If the one you're asking about is all-original except for the pickguard (Meaning that the pickguard is the only replaced part other than the strings) and it's in fine shape condition-wise and playing-wise (And since you're apparently including the case) you may be looking at between $1,500 to $2,500 (On the high end) if you sell it to a person and not a store. It does appear to me that the frets, tuners and finish may indeed be original - They're period-correct for early 1966.

This is just my personal estimate though. If I were making an offer today I'd say "$1,900" or so plus shipping, Assuming it must be shipped to me and I'm not buying it in-person. It's a fine guitar design and fits me well, But I already have one like it.
