Location: Canada | 70's strat reissue, with 5 way selector installed. Typical sun burst color with white pg and maple neck. Mint.
What would be a fair price to sell for? was purchased in 08. I had one offered to me, I can't grab it, broke, but I have a family member who might. They wanted 1400 for it,seemed high to me. I'm in Canada, so that'a our funds there. |

USA made it would be a fair price ..

Location: Tennessee | Like Vic said, depends on where it was made. MIM reissues are about $700US new. US made are a whole 'nuther can of worms. Does it have a Custom Shop logo on the back of the headstock? |

Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | I was never a fan of the three-bolt necks. It was a cost-cutting move by CBS that many believe assisted in the deterioration of quality and the design didn't last. When the reissues came out, I couldn't believe it. Maybe they're better made nowadays, but $1400 seems high. A USA Standard Strat can be found for half that. |

Location: 6 String Ranch | there wasn't anything good in the 70s, why reissue it?
USA standard is half that as stated above and twice the guitar. |

Location: Canada | 1400 canadian remember. But if a standard is twice a guitar, that is what I needed to hear., I have no idea about the differences between strats outside of what I can read on wiki or somewthing., |

Location: Cincinnati | Plenty of USA Strats can be found in the $700-850 US range. Just keep looking and you should be able to find one that's in like-new condition in that price range. |

I have a 1991 Strat Plus (USA), considered to be one of the "better" Strats. "better" being a relative term. In excellent condition, they sell for $800-$1200 now. The one your looking at is a reissue, so I doubt its worth that much on either side of the border. |
