Thus, I have a Squier By Fender Afinnity series and what is not since 2002 but since 1982 and 20th Anniversary, the guitar is very old ... In a forum I read that 10-20 years ago produced no neznam and that I was made in a limited number nothing about the price ... Does anyone know what the price of this guitar?

Photos are required to make any value determination.

Was your guitar built in 2002 or 1982? Affinitys are budget guitars so I doubt it is worth all that much.

trying to understand your broken english your guitar is a 2002 20th anniversary squier affinity, i dont think that changes the value of the guitar too much to be honest but keep hold of it and do some modifications in the future.

Sorry to tell you this is a 2002 model affinity celebrating 20 years of squier guitars. Fender licensed squier to make replicas of their guitars in 1982, and they didn't release the affinity model until the late 90s apparently all squiers made in 2002 had the etched screw plate i can 98% assure you your guitar is standard affinity stratocaster

Sorry, but no.

Your guitar was made in China in 2001 - 2002 as indicated by the serial number and the "Crafted In China" notation. The neck plate is celebrating the 20th anniversary of Fender introducing the "Fender Squier" guitar brand name in 1982. Your guitar is not 30 years old. It is only 10 years old. The Affinity is one of Squier's low budget line (Squier being a low budget subsidiary of Fender). An Affinity Strat sells today for $180:

I doubt that your guitar sold for more than that in 2002, probably selling for $150. Today it is probably worth at most $100 as there is nothing special about it. As is Fender's practice most all guitars in an anniversary year get a commemorative neck plate.

Having said all that, the Affinity Strat can be a very nice guitar (yours looks in great condition) when set up properly. I have an Affinity Telecaster that I bought last year and absolutely love it. :D

Enjoy your guitar.

this should help a little with the history of fender as far as value goes i would pay no more than £100 or probably €110 . this doesn't mean your guitar is not good affinitys can be awesome little guitars

Wikipedia has a better writeup along with serial number references:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squier

Based on the serial number, the guitar was made in China in 2001.

Hope we haven't ticked off the OP with the truth about his guitar. :(
