If you're looking for an appraisal for insurance purposes, I'd check with Gruhn Guitars in Nashville, TN, Elderly Instruments in Lansing, MI, or Mandolin Brothers in Staten Island, NY.
If you're just looking for a ballpark value to consider selling it, there are a number of different vintage guitar dealers who could assist you. Try gbase.com to find one in your area or pick up a copy of Vintage Guitar magazine.

Thanks Brad, I was thinking about selling it, I never get it out and it would be better if someone had it that would use it.

i would estimate the "dealer listing" on a similar triple neck in org condition would be around +/- $2000 (depending on condition) - then they would take 20% commission, listing / photo fees, etc.

there has been one re-listed on ebay for a month with no bites - its harder to sell a triple neck. i think most dealers realize that console steels are difficult to move, you could sell 25 lap steels for every T-8.

How long of "arm stretch" is it to the farthest neck?
This looks like a very wide triple neck consule.

Billy,
That's one of the reasons I bought a Fender Stringmaster T-8 instead. Whoa!
