A few years ago I bought a 66 J50 from an individual out of an ad in the paper for $880 and sold it to a dealer at a guitar show a year or so later for $1300 and bought a 62 J45 because I wanted a bigger neck. Some players really like the 65-66 years, it should have a real narrow neck in the first 3 frets or so and it should have the real thick pick guard. My 66 had the adjustable ceramic bridge. so I would say $1200 to $1800 depending on the market and the condition of the guitar.

I sold mine to Freedom Guitar check their website at www.freedomguitar.com

scroll down through their listings and you will find a couple of guitars like yours.
