yes
whatever someone is willing to pay.
Denonators date to the mid to late 1980's and Westerly was the only Guild factory at that time. I really have no idea what someone would pay for one but I thought the terseness of the post required a response in kind. It's kind of like the joke:
A guy in a hot air balloon is lost. He sees a man standing by a parked car so lowers his altitude so he can shout.
"Where am I?" he asks.
"In a hot air balloon." is the reply.
"You must be a lawyer."
"Why yes, I am. How did you know?"
"Because what you told me was 100% correct and 100% useless."

matsickma has the price range right. I've picked up 4 over the years from eBay. two @ $299, a mint one at $450 and one with one non-original PU for only $130.
I like them better than my Strats. The Mueller/Guild trem tailpiece actually stays in tune. Also, these came stock with Sperzel locking tuners and DiMarzio PUs (PAF humbucker at the bridge, VS-1 singlecoils in neck and middle).
Most came stock with a push/pull pot to coil split the bridge.
It was very much a "Custom Shop" type Strat-style guitar in it's day with all those items stock.
3 of mine have Poplar bodies, one is Mahogany.
Have fun,
