ANSWER
Hi, Dean--
This guitar is, for some reason, not listed in the Blue Book. It is a copy of the Gibson ES 330, as far as I can tell.
The Ibanez model 2397, which is a copy of the ES 335 IS listed. Here is that pricing info for general reference:
Mint $1,000 Exc.+ $850 Exc. $725 Avg+ $600 Avg $500 General $400
...I have the same guitar....I found that it is a 1975 Model 2454 Lawsuit model they were to stop selling and destroy any stock....the lawsuit was an infringement on the headstock crown of Gibson's. It's listed as a semi-hollow, but is actually a full hollow body - cream binding, twin humbuckers, trapeze tail pc., rectangle block inlays, flamey cherry finish, stars on tuners...no visible #'s, although I heard the pickups or pots are numbered? Saw one on E bay Erope everal yrs ago selling for 800 Euro ( $1200 US ) Supposedly pretty rare and a good player. Got mine via barter about 25 yrs ago - played maybe 10 times.
