Can anyone here tell me what this Hyak guitar may be worth on a trade?

I know that is a subjective question... I want to be as fair as possible to both another party and myself (I may have overpaid from feedback I have received). I can always make up the difference in a trade with some $$.

Thanks, Art

Full description:

Handmade guitar from Seattle based company (Hyak) in the late 70's. Cherry body, purpleheart top and back, 11 laminate neck through-purpleheart / graphite / maple / graphite / koa / purpleheart / koa / graphite / maple / graphite / purpleheart. Macassa ebony fingerboard with large abalone inlays, silver side dots. Handcut brass tailpiece / bridge with sustain block / pickup frames. Non original EMG pickups (single-humbucker) with push / pull pots. Original mini switches and 5 pin xlr are not connected and remaining original electronics are not included. The guitar is in good condition. the guitar has some dings-mostly around the edge of the body, one on the neck arround the 9th fret, as well some bigger scratches on the back of the body (all hard to show in pictures). Some of the gluelines along the veneers on the headstock / fingerboard are slightly open. The neck is straight as an arrow, the action is super low. The guitar sounds just amazing and plays like a dream. Comes with gigbag.

Screws are not on wood backplate as they were incorrect and not supplied to me.
