Roundneck? Squareneck? Pictures? Based on the description so far, somewhere between $200 and $2000 USD. :?

It's impossible to guess at a value without more information, Bill. Send me pictures privately if you don't have a way of posting them.

After receiving a good photo in the mail, I would say it's an eight string Model 63 squareneck. The serial number indicates it was made in 1981. It does appear to be in great shape, and I would guess it's worth at least $1000.00 USD.
