So what factors play a part in guitars increasing in value after a period of time. I always thought once they were 40 yrs old and still in decent shape they would be worth money but now I know this just is not the case.

How many Stratocasters were produced in 1954?

How many are still around today?

How many Stratocasters were produced in 2010?

How many do you think will be around in 40 years?

The answers to those questions should give you an idea.

There are other factors, but how rare something is is probably the bisggest.

And linked to some other things too. Such as, that Jimi Hendrix didn't set fire to a Honda Civic at Monterey.

A bit of celebrity cred always helps... :D

500,000 Indonesian rupiahs converts to 55 dollars and 69 cents. That's about right for an Indonesian Squier, and if he is willing to take 490,000 rupiahs, a fair deal.

Seller has relisted the guitar, this time without the fancy "simulated leather case", just a regular Fender hardshell case.
