Lovely looking guitar BTW, does it play/sound as well as it looks? I have a blonde 66 of my own, they are fabulous guitars.

Type the name of your guitar in the "Search Past Auctions" section and this will tell you what a specific guitar has sold for in their previous auctions. If any have gone through.
You're right to say something is only worth what someone will pay for it and this gives the prices people have paid for it!
(I just typed in "Fender Telecaster guitar" and it gave me 137 lots).
Have fun.
As I mentioned earlier there is no official used price guide line - Part is based on gut feeling - part is based on historic info via the likes of Rverb - Part is based on artist related ie I have the same Tele as 'Keef' etc - The vintage book price guide line I often find is to generic to help with such examples as yours - Could I find another 66 Tele for sale, then yes - Could I find such a good example with that history ? - Maybe but it would be a longer search and I'd expect to pay more unless I was lucky - In an auction like G&H you only need 2 interesting potential buyers and it would sell for more - Less fees
For insurance I would not insure below £15,000 and I'd be probably looking at £18,000 - But remember this is not what a dealer would pay - It is effectively a price for insurance valuation - As it is a more expensive item they may well request a written valuation from a dealer
Seems a shame it's not played, I'm sure it'll end up in the hands of a gigging musician one day though. Cool thing! Can't help with valuation sadly.
Actual sold prices are not always fool proof for example Reverb sold prices are based mostly on the US market which tends to be cheaper and on an average of the last 20 guitars sold so if this includes refins, neck repairs and heavily modded guitars then the value will look lower for a mint one so it’s not a like for like.
Ebay is a little more reliable but there are now plenty of sold listings where actual sales haven’t taken place and it’s some guy with 2 accounts winning his own auction trying to fix it with the guitar appearing for sale again next time fees are £1.
Anyway I’m no expert but I am confident in what I have said above.
Yes, definitely not one for the dog and duck!
