Hello All, yesterday I was browsing Craigs List and found this ad: Fender Squire Affinity Strat, First Act Practice Amp, Hard Case, Strap and Cord, $125! So I call the guy to ask some questions and he tells me his boss bought the guitar new 8 yrs. ago to dress up as "Prince" for a Halloween party, never played it! He then gave it to the guy who went out and bought the little practice amp who fooled around with it for about 3 hrs. then gave up. Been sitting in the case ever since! The guy lived about 15 min. from me, so I go over, check it out and come home w/everything. Aside from some minor "buckle-rash" on the plastic back plate from "Prince's" Halloween party and some extremely lite scatches on the p-guard, the damn things mint! Sure enough, the s/n dates it to 2002, then I notice the backing plate for the bolt-on neck is inscribed "20th Anniversary, Squire by Fender, Freedom of Expression since 1982". My questions, were there a limited number of these made, or did EVERY 2002 Squire guitar have this plate? What would be the "ballpark" value? I have done some searching on this forum and a couple guys have commented that 2002 Squires are some of the best. It plays decent but needs new strings and a set-up. I love the flat/matte finish on the neck. Did I do O.K.? Thanks, G.G.

You did very well GG. Now get out there and start practicing.

You can google or search wikipedia for info but don't get too excited about it being a collector guitar. Also someone probably has one listed on e-bay which should give you a price. That is what Guitar Center uses to price guitars.

Enjoy your guitar,

I think you were about right on for the value. New, you might be looking at 200ish for that...maybe a little more. I don't think the 20th anniversary thing would increase the value.

Enjoy!
