Back in '96, 'bought an MIJ Jazzmaster reissue, like near $600 out the door in molded case.

Still have it. Replaced pups with AVRI, excellent guitar.

Any idea when it was made? $500 might be okay if it's cherry and set up and hot-sounding.

If it is in good shape I would say it is definitely worth $500, and that would be a killer deal on one. My buddy has one and I really like it, probably need to replace the pups although some of them did get lucky and have good stock pups. I say go for it, the necks on those MIJ reissues are really nice too.

The MIJ '62 reissue Strats were made '84 & '85 and would be worth between $500-$625.There were MIJ Strats made from '08 to present but they're made strictly for the Japanese market.
