Wondering what the value would be on a 1973(ish?) Tele... Yellow-orangish body with a nice patina on the upper art of the body from playing, frets 1~7 are fairly worn, front of headstock is a darker color than body/neck, reddish-orange. Maple neck. All original, still wearing the ash tray over the bridge pickup, missing the plastic knob on the pickup switch. Original case. Serial # on 4-screw neck plate dates it to 72~73. A friend's dad bought it new back then.

Google ; some people ask $3k to $4K

Market could be different in your country, we don't know where you live.

Frets 1-7 fairly worn?
Anyone buying it would need to have repairs done, so I'd expect a sizeable hit in value.
It's no collector's piece unless it has provenance, so it'll be bought as a player grade instrument.

I'd say you're looking at a broad range, based on a quick search. Lower $2000s to upper $3000s. Since it sounds like it's got some flaws I would say $3000 at most. My sources are eBay and Reverb.
