I've worked in music stores and work on guitars on my spare time. If he gets it...$150 tops.
Though honestly...wouldn't waste your time.
There are a lot of really awesome Japanese Les Paul knock offs (sure some are illegal!) that have set necks for a general decent price (more so if you found it in say a pawn shop and they don't know what they had.) look up guitars on ebay by searching for Les Paul Japan or MIJ (Made in Japan) and he could probably find some really cool stuff.
Greco made some cool set neck Les Paul copies. Some people ask way too much for them thinking they're worth a grand...and they kind of are as far as craftsmanship, materials and age. But at that price you can just buy a real Gibson used.
