I have been calling the Jedson a L4-CES copy, not an ES-175.

I really have no objective way of valuing you guitar since these noname Japanese guitars are not listed in price guides.
My "feeling" is that this guitar should bring $350 USD at the bottom and possibly $550 USD at the top. If it were mine, I wouldn't sell it for less than $350.
There is a guitar similar to yours built by Kasuga in another thread. He's having difficulty determining value as well.

I've done some investigation and at the moment I think your guitar was made by Honey. This was a company that was formed after the 1967 Teisco-Kawai merger by former employees of Teisco.
If I'm right, your 1964 date is off a few years. If you're certain beyond any doubt on the 1964 date then I must be wrong since Honey didn't produce guitars until 1967.
Unfortunately, this is the best picture I have of the ES175 copy made by Honey:
