How much is this worth?

[dd12939]

A guy I know has a guitar that he's offered to sell to me 'pretty cheap.' I don't know much about it, except for what I saw and what I've found online. It's a Chiquita Guitar, apparently made by Erlewine Guitars http://www.erlewineguitars.com/pgs/chiquita.htm. The one I've been offered is black and has (I think) a Bartolini humbucker in it. It played alright, but the nut needs work (and the guy knows it). I didn't see any on Ebay, so I really have no idea how much to offer him if I decide I want it.
Thanks for any and all help!

Pretty off the wall guitar!, I have no clue what it's worth though. Jeremy, you're right about Marty McFly using a chiquita to blow up the big amp in the opening sequence for BTTF1.

Dan's one of the best luthier/repair guys in the business- and he's a hell of a nice guy to boot. Shoot him an email.
