I have a Crestline LP copy that I bought at an auction in the late 80's (26 dollars). I love this guitar. Years ago I tried looking up information about this guitar and only found out they were made in Japan in the mid to late 70's. I never practiced enough so I never really advanced on this thing but I am starting to practice a lot more because I picked up a fun multi effects pedal. I'm not sure if this guitar is worth very much. I would say for more than 200 dollars the guitar you are looking at better be in very good condition. I have had experienced guitarists with expensive guitars say "that's not a bad guitar" and "this thing plays nice". My brother in law asked if I wanted to sell it, and he plays real Fender Telecasters and other expensive guitars. I don't know how much it is worth but it is a nice playing guitar. I won't be buying another guitar soon.
