From what I gather... I hear that there may be two different versions of this guitar. How can I tell which one Is what? How much are they worth?
Thanks...

Hi Coffee,
The 40th anniversary Strat can be confusing. The American Standard Version two tone sunburst maple neck 3 single coils with 5 way switch... serial on the neck plate. Supposedly only 1954 were made. Sells from $1600.00 to 1700.00 US in excellent condition.

There was a Custom Shop Dealer Diamond edition only about 50 made with 1954 -1994 at the 12th fret with gold hardware and flame maple neck. That puppy will set you back about $5000.00.

There was also a Japanese version that I don't know much about...

There are a lot of American Standards with the 40th anniversary neck plate "40 years and still rockin" with a nice little 40th red white and blue pin at the top of the headstock ... Some people are trying to pass them off as a 40th anniversay (which I suppose in a way they are) but are not really worth what some people are paying for them.. $700 to 800 US max.

I have a 40th anniversary my strat has an olymipc white colour with a ruby scratch plate like you see on the jaguar, it has the badge and the plate at the back but the different thing about my one it has two straight single coils and a humbucker at the back all in which are emg pickups it also has a rose wood neck i have never seen another one like it but it is annoying me if its worth alot or just standard............ can some one reply if you have a bit more understanding

Which specific pickup config you've on your guitar? Two SAs and an 85?

Does your puppy use the EXG and SPC circuits?

Here you go:
