Hi guys new to the forum!
What would this 1977 U.S Strat be worth?
Comes with original case.
I have no idea what this would be worth as it has hammer damage! eek!

WTH? Why on earth would someone batter a guitar with a hammer?
Someone left it and a hammer with a toddler or something?

Actually, I wasn't always, and got a young daughter. But I wouldn't leave her alone with a guitar
Welcome!
It ain't the young'un being referred to...
What's it weigh?
The last '77 I had was damaged with the neck pulled out of the body. It didn't take a whole lot to fix but it weighed in at 11+ pounds.
I fixed 'er up and then played her for a minute. In the end I just parted her out. There was no visible damage to the body but there was an extra volume route under the guard.
The neck with repaired heal brought $300 and the body brought $360. That was over two years ago. I still have the first and second generation mix of DiMarzio FS1s that it came in it along with all the hardware sans tuners.
If it's a lighter specimen, under 8 pounds, I might go as high as $1000 depending on how it plays and if the rest of the parts are stock. A decent luthier may be able to steam those indentions out some.
I could actually deal with that as is if the price, weight and playability were right by me.

Im not sure what it weigh's..
The seller is asking $2,250
That I know is ludicrous!
The seller is way off base.
Clean '77s on the 'bay are in the $1800-2200 range. The one pictured is pretty f'n far from clean.
If you're into 70s Strats I'd keep an eye on Reverb.

Thank you yeah he seems crazy!
I wouldn't pay over a grand for it either and it would still have to be under 9 pounds by a large margin. I've had heavy strats in the '70s, '80s and '90s and they were not missed when they left. I actually aim for 7 pounds or less if I can these days, it's easy enough to do. But my days of paying 2, 3 large for a strat are through. I'll build one for far less before I do that again.
yeah im hearing you its still available..
Whoever did it must have just warmed up on that Strat. When she found his Goldtop she went to town.
