Hi slick6732.
The values on high end Gibsons can fluctuate like the stock market so it is better to find actual instruments for sale than rely on price guides.
However, the Blue Book values a mint condition (98%) 1961 Super 400 at $22,000 and a Very Good + (95%) at $18,000. I checked Gruhn's but he only had a 1956 in inventory. It has repair work and some refinishing. He is asking $15,000.
You'll probably need to have the guitar formally appraised but there are some ball park figures.
