Specifically, this one: https://www.trademe.co.nz/music-instrum ... 753241-001
I'm not a Strat fan personally, but I tried out a bunch of guitars and found that the Strat sound is going to work the best in both my bands. This one on TM looks cool and I'm thinking of chucking on a bid, but though I'd ask first - what is the going rate for an older USA Strat?
1990 Strat value?

Bleh. Not that much.
900 - 1300
More than that and it better be amazing.

A grand or less for that. Pretty well used. Ive paid a grand for mint as late 80s US stds. Keep looking.

Re: 1990 Strat value?
interesting, what type of bridge is it? @ToneLoungeMatt does the rest of it look original? The serial number checks out.

My Strat is a 1990 and the saddles look pretty similar to this one. Bit ambitious with that pricing though... and who describes their strings in size rather than gauges ?!codedog wrote:Those saddles look like some I bought off AliExpress.

Re: 1990 Strat value?
The bridge looks like a Squier / import unit.
US strats did use a similar saddle not so long ago, but generally not chromed like those ones. It also has four extra screw holes in the trem plate which suggests it could have been converted to fit the two posts.
That alone wouldn't be a difficult fix, but for the price, you can do better.

Re: 1990 Strat value?
That strat does seem overpriced. I sold a nice deluxe for less than 1400. Also my 89 Tele was well under that, also a nice guitar.
They keep telling me tone is in the fingers, but I have yet to see a "look at my fingers" thread.
