Hello, I would like to find out the value of my guitar?

The serial number is E350025, but I checked the heel date on the neck and It reads 2/24/87. It is made in u.s.a. Thanks.

ANSWER

Hi, Chad--

I am not sure what the date on the neck means. Have you had the guitar from its beginning? Is it possible that the neck was replaced?

I am asking this because the serial number indicates that Your guitar was made at the Fullerton Plant (Fender - CBS Era), USA
in the Year(s): 1982 - 1985


After checking the Blue Book, I was able to determine that the guitar was manufactured in 1983-1985 because of the silver logo
(Thanks for the pic!)


In any case, here is the Blue Book info:


STANDARD STRATOCASTER (CBS MFG. 1983-85)
