Your guitar was built by Matsumoku, the same company that built Arias. It is a Gibson 335 copy. Judging from the pickups, headstock shape and tailpiece, I would say it was built in the early 1970's rather than the late 1960's.
Japanese built 335 copies from this era are very common. For an insurance value, I would say the guitar is worth around $300. However, since there are so many of these 335's in the market, a patient shopper can probably pick one up for less than $300.
Given the setimental value the instrument has to you and your mother I doubt you want to sell it. I say play it and don't worry if you give it another bump or two.

No one is going to be able to help you with value until the model is identified. Unfortunately, your description fits all electric guitars; I can't even tell if the guitar is a solid body or hollow body from your description.
Conqueror Bruno was a name used by Kaman Music Corporation in the late 1960's. Most of the guitars they imported and badged Conqueror Bruno were Arias.
Let's start by figuring out what you have. If you can't add a picture to you post (instructions under Help and Guidelines) go to my Guitar Gallery and see if your instrument is a 335 copy like my Conqueror.
Here's the link:

Here is what I know, and this comes either from something I have read on the guitar, or from a family member.
We think the guitar is late 60's...the neck says "Conqueror" pretty big, and under it in small print, it says "Bruno". It's black and gold in color, and has 3 or 4 volume control (or something along those lines) knobs on the face of the guitar next to the strings. On the back, it says it's made in Japan.
Any idea what it's worth? Also, any general info on the guitar is very much appreciated!
Take care,
Nathan
