I think this is the best I can do:

$1,649.99 for a new one right now. I know this isn't the one with the SD in the neck, but I can't imagine it would be priced much differently.

Also, if it helps at all for a reference, I bought one of these used (2007 model) in mint condition for $1,050 back in January of this year. Mine was like the one above, with the CS Nocasters and not the SD in the neck.

Hope this helps somewhat at least!

If your '52 Tele is not a "numbered" guitar (ie. XX of 50), you can assume that 200 - 500 were made.
It would probably retail for around $2,799, such as this Custom Shop Telecaster at Wildwood Guitars.

If your guitar is a "numbered" limited edition '52 Telecaster, you can assume that it might have retailed for as much as $5,999 such as this Custom Shop Telecaster, "limited to 60 pieces world wide," at Wildwood Guitars.
