Hi, Steven--

The pricing info:

1970-1979
Excellent $2,000 - 2,300
Average $1,200 - 1,500

**Add 2.5% (MSR $3,250) for Antique Burst finish.

Steven--these prices are based on ORIGINAL equipment. Since the upgrades you have made are considered minor, I would think that if the guitar is in otherwise excellent condition, it would fit somewhere in the mid-excellent range.
