1988 Alavrez Yairi DY45

I am looking for the estimated value of my 88 Yairi DY45. The serial # is 36461. I traded for the guitar several years ago but have no idea what it is worth. I believe it has a spruce top with Brazilian rosewood sides and back. Any info you could give would be appreciated. Thank you--Jeremy
