Edgar Graham Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Alright, this is my guitar. I haven't played it in fucking ages and I want to sell it. It's a Fender Texas Special USA Strat. As far as I know the model is discontinued now and I'm pretty sure it's just a normal USA strat except with the Texas Special pick ups and a sparkly scratchplate (aaaaaaw). It's in perfect condition, made and bought in California.Anyone have a rough idea of how much it's worth and does anyone want to buy it?Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 The best I can do:eBay.co.uk - Fender USA Stratocaster, fender stratocaster, fender strat, usa fender strat items at low prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 i would estimate about 400. usa series strats cost about 700-750 new... maybe people would be willing to pay a bit more (450-500?) because of the looksedit: does it come with a case? that might also affect the price...

Edgar Graham Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Yeah, i've got a Fender hard case. One that is the shape of the guitar.When did guitars get so cheap? Didn't mexican strats used to be about 380 new? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I would say 400 is a bit low, remember the Texas Special pups are an upgrade on what normally comes in Fenders.If I was you I would stick it in Scot Ads (doesn't cost anything) for 600. If nobody bites then just keep readvertising with a lower price.As ever, it's only worth what someone will pay. A quick search on ebay shows that US strats are going for between 400 and 450, this has better pickups and someone will pay a premium for the chance to play the guitar first - but only if they actually want it.

Pierre Von Mondragon Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Mmm, aesthetically pleasing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 yeah i wasn't paying attention to the pick ups... i'll say about 450-500. i wouldn't think it would make 600 though. when i was looking for strats on ebay the ones i saw started at around 450 but didn't sell. i ended up getting a usa deluxe strat for 550, being the only bidder (it's also a special edition shiny colours one, with 'vintage' upgrade on the 'standard' scn pickups).

Spoonie Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 nah dude, in that colour you'll be lucky to get a tenner. i'll give you 11 tho, cos i'm feeling generous /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger_Loose Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 When I bought my Texas Special about 8 or 9 years ago the price of them was about 1200. I got mine for 900 because I knew a guy who owned a music shop. So, to me these things don't depreciate, unless they've been bad used. I'd be looking for more than just 500, as you say look at the price of a Mexican. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
