    How much is this guitar worth?

    I'm looking for an estimate of the value of a guitar.

    It is a Fender Stratocaster, serial number: H037097.


    This website (https://www.guitarinsite.nl/serienummers-fender_eng.php) gives the following information:



    • Production date 1988-1989.
    • Made by Fuji-gen, Japan.


    It's in pretty good condition but with some damage to the lacquer cover on the body where it is peeling off in parts.


    All help would be appreciated, thank you. (Pictures below).

    I'm awful at guessing the value of a guitar. It's obviously a "working" guitar, or perhaps more accurately, a "worked" guitar. There's a good amount of neck wear and may need a fret job.

    Reverb has a
    price guide that suggests - based on condition - you're looking at somewhere between $465 - $940. Personally, I would hesitate to pay even the low end for that guitar, but that's based only on your photos, and not having played it.

    looks like a sketchy fake relic job. The front is beat but the back looks fine and no chips on the lower bout. I'd be pressed to pay $100 for it. A lot of "relic'ed" guitars have serious problems with corrosion in the tuners and bridge. I'd suggest you keep looking.
