Fender Appraisal Question

[lyle_from_minneapolis]

Anyone familiar with the estimated value of a 1987 Reissue Stratocaster in Lake Placid Blue?

[sloop_john_b]

'62 reissue? Made in America or Japan?

[lyle_from_minneapolis]

Oops, what a maroon.

57 Reissue Stratocaster, made in USA in 1987. A one-owner guitar with tweed case and no mods and a ding or two.

I have heard they are becoming more desirable as the years pass.

I'll give you $700 for it.

[kenposurf]

Depending on condition, they're bringing $900-$1200 and are going up...

[brianeharmonjr]

I was just watching one in sherwood green in near mint condition with case and candy and it sold for $921 + shipping.

[brianeharmonjr]

That was a 62 reissue, now that I think about it, not a 57.

[lyle_from_minneapolis]

I'm not interested in selling it, just curious about its value. Mostly, I wanted to verify if this guy was on crack or not:

Because my guitar is virtually identical, but I thought his price was pretty shocking, although he does give his reasons. I do wonder how desirable these models may become as they age.

[steve_hershberger]

With an asking price like that, he's on crack.

[kenposurf]

on crack...

[lyle_from_minneapolis]

I figured that.

Of course, he could be from the future.

[leesh]

Must be some good crack.

[lyle_from_minneapolis]

Whew! So good to be back. No forum... I was lost!
