I am just wondering on behalf of him are the originals really worth a lot of money. It's in excellent condition with an ash body and rosewood fingerboard. He doesn't want to sell but he is interested in how much it's worth.

I am just wondering on behalf of him are the originals really worth a lot of money. It's in excellent condition with an ash body and rosewood fingerboard. He doesn't want to sell but he is interested in how much it's worth. It is definitely an original - he bought it in the 70's.

Some of the earlier fenders are worth a mint as pointed out by several of the people on here, I know one sold on ebay a couple of months ago for £2,700 but it was signed by Hank Marvin it wasn't his guitar just his signature. However I did have a good laff at gorillaz very witty answer jump on it to make sure it was an original like mastercard.......Priceless.....lmao

Fender did go through a bad time in the 70s after CBS took charge, and this era don't get the prices that the 50s and 60s strats do, but with the likes of Ritchie Blackmore using them, they are becoming more popular. Could be worth in the region of about £1500 for a nice one.

Lucky man, yes it really is worth a lot of money. I wouldn't know how much but I do know that Gibson 'Les Paul' guitars fetch several thousand pounds and the Strats are on a par with that. You need to find a good local music shop and see if they will give you a rough idea. Hope this is useful.

It really depends on what year the Strat was made. The '50's series Strats and most of the '60's series Strats go for $2,000.00 or more. '70's series Strats aren't worth quite as much, but it would still be worth over $1,000.00. You might want to try going to the Fender website (http://www.fender.com/), contact their customer service center, and ask them if they can give you an approximate value of the guitar. They'll probably need the serial number on the headstock, so be ready to provide that info.

Oh yeah...it's gonna be worth quite a bit. Take it to a local music store and ask them about how much it's worth.

It's worth more in Japan. Japanese collectors are obsessed with Fenders.

Its only worth lots of money if its an original. The originals were built using a special strengthening resin so the way to check is to jump up and down on it.
