Wow, talk about delusional! You can buy an unaltered one for roughly half of what he's asking (like this one (http://www.ebay.com/itm/NO-RESERVE-USED-GIBSON-EPIPHONE-CUSTOM-SHOP-FIREBIRD-ELECTRIC-GUITAR-/310783590232)), and IMHO the Maestro and stainless p/g and non-Epi TRC only decrease the value.

My hunch $400.  Problem is here is that prices were always more, but that's leveled out a lot past couple of years.  There's a nice white 2005 Gibson 'Bird, but I have nuttin to trade for it.  Love one of those.
