In the UK you'd be talking £150-250 I think. It looks a bit rough in places (pickguard around the neck heel, control plate looks cheap) but it being unusual and there not being many Mustang copies would hold it up a little. In dollars I don't know, maybe the same numbers but with the $ symbol, or maybe up to $400 or so.

The two-piece headstock is scary, and ugly. Even Satellite never went that low. If its rare which it probably is it will have a larger value on it than it deserves. I really dont know, but in comparison to the Fernandes Mustang recently posted up it looks like junk.
