Hi Billy.
Checking Gruhn's catalog is probably a better guide to current prices than the Price Guides. The values on many high end guitars have fallen with the stock market.
Gruhn's has a couple of 1953 Goldtops with trapeze tailpieces selling for $15,000 and $16,000.
I can't link directly to the guitars, just click the Inventory button on the left bar menu and go to Gibson Solidbody Guitars.
