Jazzmaster for Guild D55?

[jmascis]

Hey guys.
Someone offered me a trade. A 2000s Jazzmaster AVRI for a D55 1979 mint with case candy.
What is the value of that guitar? I know I need to look for neck reset issues, etc. Assuming all is okay, what's the value. Wondering if this is a good trade. The JM sells for about 2k.
Thanks

All the used D55s in excellent condition are bringing $2000 -- $2500 and might fetch a little higher depending on factory manufactured in and buyer agreeing with your "mint" description. The 1977 was made in Westerly, RI and they have a very good reputation as a maker.

Thanks. It's made in Westerly. So the trade is about even then. That's what I needed to know.
