I've just joined this forum so I look forward to chattin to everybody

I guy I know has offered to sell me his G&L Asat Classic Leo Fender Signature but he hasn't given me a price yet because he wants to find out this guitars 'market value'. This guy has his own music shop and he got this guitar back in about '91(?) and decided to keep it for himself instead of selling it. So for all this time its been sitting brand new in its case out the back of his shop amongst the cobwebs. Its a sunburst colour with Leo Fender written on the upper body, its definitely not a commemorative leo fender model as it doesn't have that on the headstock.
I've phoned most of the major music shops here in Oz (incl the G&L dealers) to get an approximate $ value of this guitar and they have all told me that it would be worth no more than what a new Asat classic costs today. I found this interesting because I thought the Leo signature added some value on it. I rang a few big guitar collectors here and they all said that this guitar wasn't really that collectable as they weren't that rare and not that old.
I'm not buying this guitar as a collector but as a player. I've actually played this particular Asat Classic once many years ago and it is THE best tele I've ever heard. I own 4 Fender teles now and owned a few others and this G&L is far better. I'm amazed this guy still has it!
So I thought I would put the question to you guys in the G&L community who might know the what these guitars are worth today. I've seen a couple of Leo Signatures on ebay and they ranged from about US$1500 - 2000 which I thought was cheap.
Can someone help me out??
