If you bought it in 2007, figure that you could get about half what you paid for it new. Most shops will give 50% of their selling price on trade-in, and being that it's a current model, they will have to price it below the price of a new one. So if the guitar sells for $300 new and they marked it at $250 used, you might get $125 on trade. Selling it yourself, maybe you could get the same as a shop would, since it has an upgraded bridge pickup. Unfortunately, a pickup swap (or other mods) won't really increase the selling price much unless a buyer really wants a guitar with that mod.

Of course, if you want to know the value for insurance costs, then you could probably value it at $300. For selling purposes, maybe $220.
