Hi, I've owned this guitar for about 14 years, but i really have no idea of what sort of value it is worth. Could any one give me a guide to help me for insurance purposes please?...

ANSWER

Hi, Nikki--

The serial number indicates that your guitar was made at the Fuji-gen Plant (for Fender Japan), Japan in the 1984 - 1987.

Unfortunately, the Blue Book does not list these guitars. Evidence seems to indicate that they are of good quality and in some demand by players.

I was able to find one on the internet that recently sold for $1000.
