You can get them from about £2500 upwards for that sort of age, depending on condition. I got it for a decent price - it's a cracker. Spent a couple of hours setting it up and it's a really nice player. Not from their best era, supposedly, but it's really well put together and very versatile, unlike myself. They're not Gibson's most expensive vintage gear (that's the '59 Les Paul) but they go up to about £20,000 for an early '50's one in good nick.
Jaysus, you could get a decent watch for that money :)
