1963 (?) Fender Jaguar

I am curious about the value of this guitar. I recently saw a similar Jaguar for sale for $7,000 and was wondering how accurate that was. The serial # is L23029. Although there are a some nicks in the paint, the guitar has not been played much over the years. My father got it as a gift when he was in high school, but never had an amp, so it mostly sat in a case. It was then given to me who used it for maybe 7-8 years before I left in in the case for the last 7 years. It is all original and has the classic sunburst finish, including the original orange velvet case.
