    Price Check - '83 -> '62 Reissue

    A local shop has a pretty nice Strat that I'm thinking about buying. Its an early '62 Reissue from 1983. Its all original including solder joints. The color is kind of a buttercup / yellowish and its been well loved.

    What would be a fair price? I'm not too familiar with anything past the mid '70s from a price perspective.

    $1000-1250 is the range those sell at. Maybe a little more if totally mint.

    Whats the word on these overall? It seems to be a very comfortable guitar, though the neck is a little thin. The MIJ ones seem to have a pretty good rep, but this is MIA.

    82-83 are considered by some to be the best ones cause they were made in the Fullerton plant where all the original 50's-60's Fenders were made.

    I agree the necks are way too thin the MIJ and MIM models have a much nicer fuller feeling neck.
