I hate to use an old saw, but it's worth what someone will pay you for it...

If it doesn't appear listed in any of the used guitar "bluebooks," the second best method is to do a search of the closed transactions on eBay and see if any one has sold one of these in the search-able past.

Since you seem to be striking out with both of these ideas, my next fallback to try to place a value on it would be, what would it cost to replace it with a similar axe? Take that cost, and halve it... it's a BIG ballpark, I know, but I don't think you're gonna get much closer than that until there are a few
"precedent setting" sales recorded.

Perhaps someone with better "oddball guitar market" chops will chime in.
